Reflection on Research

When I sit back and look at all the research I have done for Core 2 and for my argument, it is interesting to compare the authors to another and see what I think is valid and what isn't. With how technology is today, anyone can post information on the internet, so you have to be careful who you chose information from.
When comparing the different authors, you can tell who has valuable sources and who doesn't. For example, one of the sites I found had no references, while the next one I found had a reference from the superintendent of schools where he conducted his research. Many of the authors I have seen so far have been leaning towards the idea that computers in the classrooms does in fact increase children's writing skills. I have seen very few authors say that it doesn't increase their writing skills. Although, every author I used for my research has addressed the opposing argument, which makes their evidence and claims more valid.
I personally do not have any concerns with the research I used. I made sure I used scholarly sources such as Academic Search Premier, JSTOR, and Google Scholar. It is hard to find an article that isn't scholarly with good references on any of those sites. In the beginning, I did have a little trouble because I used one non-scholarly source, but once I realized that the information couldn't be trusted, I immediately took that part out of my research. I have good faith that the research that I found is valid and can be used to better my argument.
