summarizing paragraphs

1. Today electronic communication plays an important key to share personal ideas to others, and to do reserch.

2. An effective teacher needs to vary techniques and to have a variety of teaching methods and learning activities to facilitate the maximun learning for as many students as possible.

This is a summary come from Joseph M. Williams, The Craft of Research, chapter one: Thinking in print. The world changes every day because of reserch, not always for the better. But done well, research is crucial to improving every facet of our lives. It is no exaggeration to say that your research and your reports of it can improve perhaps not the whole world, but at least your corner of it. Writing supports thoughts, not just by helping you understand better what you have found, but by helping you find in it larger patterns of meaning. You can improve your thinking when you encourage it with notes, outlines, summaries, commentary, and other forms of thinking on paper. Writing a research report is thinking from the point of view of your readers. When you write with others in mind, you give your ideas the critical attention they need and deserve. You distangle them from your memories and wishes, so that you can explore, expand, combine, and understand them more fully. Thinking in written form for others can be more careful, more sustained, more attuned to those with different views - more thoughtful - than just about any other kind of thinking.
