Argumentative Strategies

This was the first comment made, after watching this video. As the advocate, I decided to focus on the idea that technology does not di-personalize education, but instead it adds personalization to it. It was an agreement argument, because Mr. Dhinga makes the same point in his video. This also adds in my opinion, since my examples are things that, as an education major, we have learned about in our courses, as well as the experience that we receive through Field Visits to various elementary schools in South Jersey. In this comment, I also take my audience's point of view into consideration and make another argument, which I hope can be brought up again in a future comment and argument.

In this comment, Nicole chose to use the rebuttal argument. She defended the opposite point that I did. She believes that technology is a distraction in the classroom, which is her opinion, but then defends her opinion with evidence. She also proposes solutions to the argument, making it a proposal argument. She wants to see future changes with technology and education, so it is almost like a call to arms, of sorts.
|
Alicia, as the interrogator is using an agreement argument, as she looks at what Nicole had to say, agrees, and then uses her own evidence to support the claim. This argument that technology is a distraction to students is a disagreement argument in relation to my argument that technology is beneficial to students and teachers.
|
Here, Nicole is also using an agreement argument since she is agreeing with Alicia. Again, this is going against my original argument, so Nicole is disagreeing with me. This could also be considered a causal argument, because Nicole states that by disabling applications and internet accessibility, students will simply find a way around these obstacles, resulting in the same distraction they would have, even if the applications were not blocked. She states the cause and the immediate effect.
|
This comment could be considered an rebuttal argument. Instead of agreeing or disagreeing with the previous comment, I decided to clarify what one side of the argument included, and then state why that argument was not complete. There were certain things that the argument did not account for, such as instructors teaching respect for the technology in question.
|
In this comment, Nicole is using the "yeah..but" argument. She seems like she might agree with my statement, but then adds something that could go wrong with it. This could also be considered an evaluation argument because she takes my comment for what it's worth, but then explores further into the argument.
|
Here, I explore the "yeah...but" argument. I agreed with Alicia that there should be some consequences but then I add in my "but statement." I extend my argument to include other aspects of education that relates to the topic of technology. This may also be considered a proposal argument since I hint at the direction that teaching in classrooms with technology should go.
