Linear Text

              The digital world is changing constantly around us throughout our society. New ideas have inspired us for these new changes and ideas that we now rely on in our everyday lives.  Every time we rethink, we relearn our ideas, which later are converted into this more modified world. Now we have to decide whether it’s necessary to rethink contents that are in the digital world of writing and reading.
              Yesterday and still today we always use paper and a writing utensil.  Text is said to be unlinear .Now that has transpired into something more diverse that is digital and virtual.  Typing is a faster way of a writing technique that we use more often now. It’s easier to correct a mistake and save our work, instead of usually erasing our best work and starting over from scratch.  The video demonstrates ways of digital being different and more flexible.
              Web pages became more common and that’s our way of finding research as well as other information. Behind the information, links became a faster source for us to virtually travel quickly to the webpage. Now that’s where rethinking comes into place. We have to choose whether we should keep stuff in the web more complex or either change them back to where we started.
              In  the article called "Panels: Rethink Schools " , it focused on the learning environment that we share today. It suggested about schools becoming more virtual, online, and complex. For them to become succesful they should make learning environments easier so that students would be able to access digital tools and resources better. As well as teachers or educators having more time to practice their  professions, interact with their mentors or experts in their field , and for them to be more connected to the students families and communities. That would create a very interactive as well as productive education system.
              When people are connected through technology or collabortative arrangments , the outcome will become rewarding and successful. Isolation between other students , teachers, and classes , as well as society, will lead the digital world to not be so successful. We need a new digital learning,  rethinking about our  education system  and our society, would take our technology as well as knowledge into a whole new generation.
