After reading Dennis Baron’s article, I was able to grasp a better understanding of different technologies and tools that I can utilize throughout my writing process. The two most common tools I use to help articulate my writing are a computer and a pencil. Both tools are used almost every time I write a paper or something in general. After reading, I noticed and learned that computers allow people to create their thoughts cleanly and precisely. When I use computers, I have different apps like Notes App or Excel that I can use to help present my information thoroughly with illustrations. If I have a research project, then I can find quotes or information and copy and paste them into the Notes App so that I have a list of examples to use to write my paper. When using a computer, I can type much information faster than a pencil, which allows me to articulate more information at a time. Having different accessible apps to articulate a good paper helps me tremendously. Another tool that I have used numerous times is the pencil. Using a pencil as a tool is something that I feel is very important to me when writing a paper. Something I have learned that works best for me is that when I am writing down information rather than typing, I notice that I better understand what I am writing. Everyone seems to have similar interests with different technologies to use for writing purposes, but everyone has their ideas of how they each help them.
