I have two articles on Facebook and plan on using them to argue that students are more engrossed in the virtual world and not living through the real world anymore. I have a philisophical article on solitude and its importance by Angelo Crarnfa. This article looks at how finding time to be alone with the self is important to grow as a person. With social networks out there students dont have the oppertunity to find solitude and self reflect. Then I have two articles that look at how students react to an online classroom and whether or not it is benefitting them or if it changes their participation level and work ethic. With these articles I will be able to see how the internet is changing students and whether or not it is for the better or for the worse.
