Blog Post 2

My Opinion Editorial will be focused on the issue of some religion teachers not allowing electronics in their classes. I'm taking two religion classes right now - Book of Mormon and New Testament. Both of these professors has a no electronics rule. This is an issue for me because I like using the Gospel Library app on my phone. When I study personally I use that app. I don’t like being required to use hard copies of the scriptures just for these two specific classes. It makes it difficult for me because now I have to buy hard copies just for those classes. There are other religion teachers who allow smart phones and seem to be successful in their classes, so why can’t we make them the same? This is the issue I’ve decided to base my Opinion Editorial on. It will answer all three of the big questions: What exists? Smart phones. What is good? Having the Spirit in the class with the ability for the students to take away as much as they can from the class. What should we do? Allow smartphones so we don't have to buy scriptures just for that class. My opinion editorial will answer these three questions more in detail than what I just gave. I plan on being persuasive with my argument by asking other students from my classes and other religion classes how they feel about the specific rule of their class. I foresee that many other students will share my view and this will make a convincing argument.

  1. I'm preparing to go on a mission and I was wondering whether or not to really be marking in my hard copy of the scriptures or if using the Gospel Library app for my scripture study would be smart considering that so many missions are integrating electronics into preaching the gospel! I'd say that electronically marking/studying the scriptures isn't something that should be discouraged anymore
