Over the years, people, usually teachers, have tried to discover the best way to teach. Many agree that by using technology, students will gain more knowledge and concentrate more in class. Furthermore, many argue that since computers were invented in 1945 and technology has continued to advance since then, students, especially teenagers, have decreased their concentration and knowledge of skills. An expert article by Marie Glenn, "How Technology Will Shape Learning," cleverly includes rhetorical tools and strategies such as the use of logos, ethics, expert testimony, humor, and evaluation techniques to forcefully promote her positive conception of the use of technology in the classroom. In contrast, Kentaro Toyama's article, “There Are No Technological Shortcuts to a Good Education,” uses pathos, diction, expert testimony, and his own personal observation to strongly argue against the theory that technology helps education. Although Marie Glenn and Kentaro Toyama have both written articles on the use of technology in education, Glenn's arguments are better supported and more reasonable. Analysis of “How Technology Will Shape Learning” Marie Glenn skillfully begins her informative article by providing the reader with facts, studies, and evaluation techniques that further her goal of convincing her audience, primarily educational programs, that technology is useful in education. Glenn largely achieves his goal of convincing his audience by gaining credibility. He begins his article with the use of quantitative logos to support his thesis and to establish his point of view on technological innovation in education. Glenn states: “63% of respondents from the public and private sectors say that technological innovation will have a major influence on t…… half of the document … the challenge in education remains the direct and long-term motivation of the student, something which today no technology can offer on its own, but which good teachers regularly offer” (3). In their informative article, both Marie Glenn and Kentaro Toyama achieve their goals through writing. Marie Glenn proved herself more than enough, providing statistics and facts, to declare her positive vision and benefits of technology in education. While Kentaro Toyama has often stated that technology lacks the motivation that he believes is the source of improving education to teach students. Although Marie Glenn and Kentaro Toyama demonstrated questionable arguments, Marie Glenn was able to write a much more comprehensive essay using multiple logos and expert testimonials that reiterated her personal observations on the topic, “technology enhancing education”.
