I love how tech savvy the world is. I remember when the original Gameboy came out and every kid wanted one. Then the first cell phone came out and every adult wanted one. Now, even the President is known as a tech savvy person. People sometimes complain about how technology is isolating people from each other but look at the good technology does. Without the Purdue website, there would be many students at a loss for what to do when they need help with their writing.
My favorite part of the website is the link to learn how to write a creative piece. It's amazing to see that the site teaches about not only all the technical and academic pieces but the more imaginative ones too. I find that people forget they have imaginations after they've been shoved into the generic school system for the 12 or so years before college. We have to write about history, our goals, scientific experiments, classwork, etc all the time. When we finally get the chance to use our imaginations, sometiems even then we need a guide. The Purdue OWL website actually provides that guide.
I would certainly recommend this website to other GU students. This site teaches you how to write every important type of paper there is. It even teaches you the basic writing process! For those who need support, this site provides everything a writer would need. Each kind of paper is broken down and those broken down parts are explained in language that connects with the everyday person. There's no stuffy language to get tripped up on. That simple fact puts the whoever's trying to learn at ease because everything is laid out for them in a language they can understand.

ReplyDeleteGood point about us not being imaginative in high school. High school papers were always boring! I was tired of writing essay about abortion three times for three different classes in different time!
ReplyDeleteYour blog post is definitely different from others, but in good way. You introduced your blog by using your experience and examples before presenting your thesis. Well written.
Loved how you opened up with the concept of technology and how it is revolutionizing the world!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for OWL! Or at least, Purdue University.
When you opened up with how savvy tech is, it was really pulling the reader into the paper. like it!
