Cover Letter Dear Professor Sheila McDermott-Sipe, My
purpose of writing this draft is to inform the audience about the
some of the how Facebook has transformed many students'
Writing for the Better or worse in education system. 1 MY
INTENDED AUDIENCES INCLUDE THE PEERS, MY
PROFESSOR, THE OTHER STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS THE
SOCIETY AND PARENTS.There are few revisions that I made
to improve my draft. I restructured my introduction part to
capture the reader’s attention. Secondly, in the body i added
some direct quotations from article to show the original source,
this reduced plagiarism in my work. 1 ONE MAIN FEEDBACK
I RECEIVED FROM PEERS WAS ON THE ISSUE OF POOR
SENTENCE STRUCTURE.I used this feedback to revise the
whole document taking into account poor structured
questions. 1 THIS REVISION IMPROVED MY DRAFT IN
THAT IT BECAME LEGIBLE, AT THE SAME TIME THE
SENTENCES BECAME BRIEF, CLEAR AND DIRECT TO
THE POINT.The challenge I encountered while trying to revise
the draft was trying to get more references for my draft- I
solved that challenge by going to the library and the use of

internet.
Thank you.

Facebook Has Transformed My Students' Writing—for the
Better Currently, the use of internet has become of the most
adorable feature in education system. There are various
advantages and disadvantages of using internet. From reliable
information, it was reported that writing a complete sentence
has been increasingly become endangered species. Many of the
students assess good writing and discuss some of the main
effect of choice of the words as well as elegant syntax on the
experience of the audience. The difficult conflict is worth
fighting, however all people need to be aware that something
dark than lasting senioritis lines up in the opposition (Simmons
1). Conversely while Twitter and Facebook have battered the
writing conventions among many students, they have not
destroyed the significant elements in individual writing which
comprise emotional honesty as well as reflection. 1 THE MAIN
OBJECTIVE OF THIS ARTICLE WAS TO DEMONSTRATE
THE IMPACTS OF USING FACEBOOK IN THE
CLASSROOM.IT CAN BE SUMMED UP THAT THE
COMMON STRAND OF THE CHALLENGES OF IS THE
DIVIDED ATTENTION.2 “FACEBOOK HAS TRANSFORMED
MY STUDENTS'Writing—for the Better” is an article that deals
with the young high school boys specifically, social networking
which has actually improved the process of writing and not the
process or the product (Simmons 1). However the sensitivity as
well as inward concentration needed to begin to make a draft
that will require editing. The author explains that high school is
painful to all sexes, an equal chance destroyer of spirit as well
as self-esteem. The author mainly focused on boys for the
reason that he had seen the environment play out more
forcefully with them. At the same time the author believes that
since at one time he was a boy, he understands them better as
compared to the girls (Ellison, Steinfield & Lampe, 2007).

The author gives his account in high school; he states that
“when he was in high school in the year 1994 boys understood
how not show their insecurity and weakness” (Simmons).
Mostly, girls did not seem to like guys who expressed weakness.
Sportspersons normally estimated stereotypically male features.
On top of the showing physical size aggressive, also confidence,
an easy gait, stance as well as casual presence show the signs of
being contented in their own skins. Even those who were
skinniest punk guitarist dressed in hoodies such as amour had a
sensitive toughness seasoned by the knowledge of having been
bullied in the high school (Ellison, Steinfield & Lampe, 2007).
The climate demanded patience, cool detachment as the default
attitude for the young boys attempting not to lose social
standing. The attitudes of the young male were as they
continued to be shaped by the music as well as other forms of
pop culture (Simmons 1). Simmons says that at age of 14 years
he was smart, small and artistic. The author wrote well, the
view of writing anything that will allow even a teacher to
understand what he really thought to terrify him. He has a
Facebook page which is dedicated exclusively to his position as
the educator. One thing about him is that he does not send a
friend request to the students but the former as well as current
learners send them to him and he constantly accepts them. He
does not post a lot, but he keep up with some learners and share
things related to the links when the he delude his self into
believing they will be of interest (Simmons 1). Continuing
students normally send him friend requests with knowing the
consequence of being Facebook friends with their own teacher.
1 PERSONALLY, I DID NOT CARE SO MUCH FOR THIS

SUCCESS.SIMMONS’S STYLE IS AUTHENTIC AND I GOT

Cover Letter
Dear Professor Sheila McDermott-Sipe,
My main objective of writing this draft is to inform the
audience about the some of the challenges that face our higher
education system. 1 MY INTENDED AUDIENCES INCLUDE
THE PEERS, MY PROFESSOR, THE OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS SUCH AS THE SOCIETY AND PARENTS.
There are certain issues that I changed in the paper to improve
the content. Some of the revisions that I made to improve my
document include: editing my work and correcting sentence
structures as well as create a precise definition to capture
attention of the reader. 1 THE FEEDBACK I RECEIVED FROM
PEERS WAS ON THE ISSUE OF POOR SENTENCE
STRUCTURE. I used this feedback to shorten my sentences to
ensure they were clear. 1 THIS REVISION IMPROVED MY
DRAFT IN THAT IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND
THE SENTENCES BECAME BRIEF, CLEAR AND DIRECT
TO THE POINT. The challenge I encountered while trying to
revise the draft was locating all mistakes as advised by peers- I
solved that challenge through scanning over pointed areas.

Does the internet make you dumber?
In the current world, it is not very common for the learners to
do anything without the use of internet. 2 VARIOUS STUDIES
INDICATE THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO HAPPEN TO READ
TEXT STUDDED WITH LINKS, UNDERSTAND VERY
LITTLE AS COMPARED TO THOSE WHO READ OUTDATED
LINEAR TEXT. 3 SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH THE
BUSY MULTIMEDIA PERFORMANCES RECALL LESS
THAN THOSE THAN THE ONES WHO TAKE IN INFO IN A
MORE FOCUSED AND SEDATE MANNER (CARR 1). 2
PERSONS WHO ARE CONSTANTLY DISTRACTED BY THE
ALERTS, EMAILS AS WELL AS OTHER MESSAGES

COMPREHEND LITTLE AS COMPARED TO THOSE WHO
ARE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE. 4 ON THE OTHER HAND
PEOPLE WHO JUGGLE WITH SEVERAL TASKS ARE LESS
IMAGINATIVE AS WELL AS LESS PRODUCTIVE AS
COMPARED TO THOSE WHO DO ONE THING AT A TIME. 1
DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACTS OF USING INTERNET IN
PEOPLE’S LIFE. IT CAN BE SUMMED UP THAT THE
COMMON STRAND OF THE CHALLENGES OF IS THE
DIVIDED ATTENTION.
Does the internet make you dumber?” is an article that accounts
for various issues related to the internet and its impacts to the
general society. The article starts by the author accounting for
the richness of people’s thoughts, memories as well as
personalities on people’s capability to concentrate the mind and
maintain the focus. The author explains that only when people
pay attention to new information are they able to relate it to
systematic and meaningfully with skills already well created in
the memory (Carr 1). Such relations are significant to mastering
some of the complicated ideas.
The author states that “people are continuously interrupted and
distracted, as the y concentrate online, their brains are not able
to forge strong as well as expansive links that provide
distinctiveness and depth to people’s thinking” (Carr 1). 2
MOST PEOPLE BECOME JUST A SIGNAL PROCESSING
UNITS, HASTILY DIRECTING BITS OF INFORMATION
INTO AND THEN OUT OF SHORT-TERM MEMORY.
VARIOUS RESEARCHES IN THE ARTICLE SHOW THAT
PARTICULAR TASKS SUCH AS PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
CAN IMPROVE VISUAL SKILLS, IMPROVING SPEED AT
WHICH PERSONS CAN CHANGE THEIR FOCUS AMONG
THE IMAGES AS WELL AS ICONS ON SCREENS. THE
OTHER RESEARCH DISCOVERED THAT SUCH FAST
CHANGE IN FOCUS, EVEN IF CARRIED OUT ADEPTLY,
RESULT IN MORE AUTOMATIC THINKING AND LESS
RIGOROUS (SHIRKY 1).

The experiment which was carried out at Cornell University
indicates that 50 percent of the learners were permitted to use
the internet connected computers during lecture, whereas the
others had to keep their computers closed. The students who
browsed the website did much worse on the following test of
how well they captured the content. Though it is hardly
surprising that surfing on web would confuse the learners, it
must be cautioned to schools that wiring their classrooms in the
hope of enhancing their learning (Carr 1).
5 FROM THE INFORMATION, GREENFIELD SUMMARIZED
THAT “EACH MEDIUM IMPROVES SOME COGNITIVE
SKILLS AT THE EXPENSE OF ANOTHER.” THE AUTHOR
STATES THAT THE INCREASING CONCERN OF THE
SCREEN BASED MEDIA HAS REINFORCED VISUAL
SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE, WHICH CAN ENHANCE THE
CAPABILITY TO CARRY OUT TASKS THAT REQUIRE
KEEPING TRACK OF SEVERAL SIMULTANEOUS SIGNALS
SUCH AS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLS. 2 IN THE OTHER
EXPERIMENT, A RESEARCH CONDUCTED BETWEEN
INTERACTIVE MEDIA LAB AND HUMANS, A TEAM OF
INVESTIGATORS GAVE COGNITIVE TESTS TO 49
PERSONS WHO DO NUMEROUS MULTITASKING AND 52
PERSONS WHO MULTITASK LESS FREQUENTLY (CARR
1). The highly multitaskers achieved poor results on all teats.
The distracted, had little attention and they were less capable of
distinguishing significant information from trivial once.
1 PERSONALLY, I DID CARED SO MUCH FOR THIS
TO MAKE WAS DONE WITH SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS. The
author’s style of writing involves the usage of quotes and
simple vocabularies. When I read this article, that quote
immediately came to mind. 1 CARR’S STYLE IS AUTHENTIC
AND I GOT A STRONG IMPRESSION THAT IT IS
DELIBERATELY CLEAR THAT THIS PERSON HAS VAST
INFORMATION. I FOUND THE STORY TO BE INCREDIBLY
ORIGINAL. The article has explained some of the negative

effects that the current society is undergoing in the name of
internet. 1 THIS ARTICLE READ LIKE THE AUTHOR
WANTED THE READER TO UNDERSTAND VIVIDLY OF
THE CHALLENGES OF USING INTERNET IN LECTURE
AND ITS NEGATIVE IMPACTS.
IN CONCLUSION, THE ARTICLE “DOES THE INTERNET
MAKE YOU DUMBER” HAS A VERY VALID POINT THAT
IT IS TRYING TO MAKE. I PERSONALLY WOULD
RECOMMEND THIS STORY TO SEVERAL OTHER
READERS. THE ARTICLE IS VERY EASY TO FOLLOW AND
IS EXTREMELY ORIGINAL. THE POINTS ARE WELL LAID
DOWN WITH EXPERIMENTS WHICH WERE DONE
PREVIOUSLY. IT IS IN MY VIEW THAT MORALS THAT
THIS ARTICLE IS TRYING TO TEACH WERE DONE WITH
SIGNIFICANT SUCCESS.

Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, like
playing video games, can enhance "visual literacy skills",
increasing the speed at which people can shift their focus
among icons and other images on screens
THE OTHER RESEARCH DISCOVERED THAT SUCH FAST
CHANGE IN FOCUS, EVEN IF CARRIED OUT ADEPTLY,
RESULT IN MORE AUTOMATIC THINKING AND LESS

even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and "more

Ms Greenfield concluded that "every medium develops some
cognitive skills at the expense of others “Our growing use of
screen-based media, she said, has strengthened visual-spatial
intelligence, which can improve the ability to do jobs that
involve keeping track of lots of simultaneous signals, like air
traffic control
