The article, "Are they Students or are they Learners?" by David Warlick, discusses if kids in the learning environment are learners or merely students and this matters to me, education, and the world. This matters to me because the article talks about how students are given resources such as computers to learn better. Students, including myself often use computers just to find short cuts on their school work. Also, this matters to education because Warlick discuses how student’s motivation to finish their work is to just finish it for the teacher. Learners are motivated by their value in work, especially when it’s valued by others. This matters to the world because if we all can be better learners, not just better students, we can get bigger and more important things accomplished. In conclusion, the world of education needs to start educating their learners, instead of their students
