From the Gees article in Issue 4 of Understanding Rhetoric, the topic
of Argument Beyond Pro and Con has several associations such as
introductory claim, context & background, evidence, analysis, implications,
and concluding claims. The initial introductory claim is a topic with values
which can viewed in several ways. Introductory claim is example topic such
as better learning atmosphere can be viewed by many in school or online
classes. Second, the context & background is to back up the topic with pas
experience and facts. Context & background from the example topic of
better learning atmosphere, past background experience from student in
school and online classes clears a perspective. Third, evidence is to describe
the topic in either physical or intangible ideas or things. Evidence from
example topic, better learning atmosphere, is classes and programs that
are directly affected such as Physical Education class. Fourth, analysis is a
way to identity the pro and cons of topic. Analysis from the example topic,
better learning atmosphere, would be paper and pencil versus computer
and keyboard. Fifth, implications or troubles that within both systems.
Implications from the example topic, better learning atmosphere, the
problems of both schools and online classes such as the efficient accessibility

for a handicap student. Finally, concluding claim are ways in which the
argument makes the correlation between the two ideas and reviews the pros
and cons. Concluding claims from the example topic, better learning
atmosphere, recall the relationship between schools and online classes and
also recall the pros and cons of both institutions. From this article, students
will find the efficient step by step process to associate topics.

Pink, Daniel. A Whole New Mind. River Head Books. 2006. Print.

The author, Pink, creates a talk on the way people make decisions
within the mind. Pink uses the left-brained and right-brained as metaphors
for general thinking. Pink argues that the knowledge workers work with the
issues of productivity. However, Pink describes that people look at the
meaning of the things. A concept of liberal arts where the people should
pursue the meaning of comfort in our busy lives. The read takes away many
ways for students to become better decision makers as they chose their
career path. Pink brings out that abundance equals freedom creates a
demand to satisfy transcendental values.

Blair, Nancy. Technology Interrogation for the New 21st Century Learner.
National

Association of Elementary School Principals.

Principal January/February 2012: Technology, Feb. 2012. Web. 1 March

2015.
In Nancy Blairs article, she expresses her belief that new students of
the 21st century should have access to new technologies so that their early
educational development can have a greater personal impact on their future.
Blair states that providing new students with technologies will enhance these
students development of the four Cs (critical thinking, creativity,
communication, and collaboration). She also explains how there must be a
shift in roles in the class room. By this she means that instead of the
teachers having prime access to technology, students should have prime
access to technology. This gives teachers less work to do and it gives
students more experiences in managing technologies and the internet. Blair

also expresses her though that even if a schools budget does not allow for
such technologies, the principals should make it their highest goal to obtain
them. Blair ultimately believes that providing students with new technologies
will better prepare them for the 21st century, an era of rapid growing
technologies.

In Kerchners article, he states that internet related technology has
the ability to positively change a students learning production in three
different ways. He first states that technology will change the present form of
teaching and learning to a more individualized learning system. He then says
that technology software is ideal to help, assist, and challenge a students
learning ability. Lastly, Kerchner expresses his belief that technology has the
ability to change learning production to a more open network. By this he
means that students will have access to a great network capacity available
when using the internet. This network provides students with more help and
opens the ability to challenge themselves even further. Kerchner argues that
we should harness digital technologies and what they can offer to our 21st
century students.
