Which article are you evaluating?
Digital media in education

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to edit due to how relevant this subject is in education. Since the Coronavirus pandemic began, it has changed the education system from something more traditional to a different alternative. Before Covid, there was some development of technology use in schools but the drastic transition has definitely come with many different challenges. I think digital media in the education system has many benefits and I am curious to see where I can add more information to allow people to see where this development is headed and how it has effected the education system overall. I was surprised to see that this articled was lacking a lot of information. I was fortunate enough to have iPads and laptops as a part of my learning since 8th grade and I would think with the technology use due to covid there would be more information about how digital media is being used to help our education systems throughout the world. I noticed that the article

The lead section of this wikipedia article is very concise. It provides a good definition of what digital media is and examples of how it can be used in education. This part of the article is lacking in some information about the specific topics that will be included in the article. I would say additional information needs to be included in this section of the article in order to properly introduce the information that will be discussed throughout the article. Although this article seems very short, it does seem to have been updated recently. One of the major topics I wanted to discuss was how Covid has impacted the education system. Some information about that is included but could be elaborated on considering we have had a full year of Covid. The article also includes some studies that have been done by researcher's I would like to see more of that information included as well as how it has affected other countries that have to change the way their education system functions. I like how the article includes some of the advantages and benefits of using digital media but I would like for there to be information regarding negative impacts if any.

This article has a good amount of references listed. All of the links are still pretty relevant being with all being published after 2002. They are all still available to view, so this will be beneficial when I go back to review some of the information. One of the articles includes a journal written about Covid and education, there is also another articles that tackles this topic in marginalized communities. With this summarize the overall use and definition of digital media rather than including other important topics. This article seems to be well written but it can definitely use better word choice where it seems to become repetitive.

The article also includes a few photos that represent the article well, however I would like to seem more photos that show the softwares student's use in particular or some of the projects that student's have completed using their digital technologies. The talk page is lacking a lot of conversation, there was one message elaborating on the meaning of the first sentence. I will definitely be utilizing this feature to help discuss some ideas for this page with other editors. This page overall has a good foundation with useful resources but is lacking the information from those resources. It is definitely underdeveloped but a lot of research has already been done by other editors. I want to elaborate on some keys ideas already mentioned and include some new ones of my own.

Academic Surveillance
Surveillance plays a large role in all aspect of people's lives. With academics transitioning from a traditional class to a virtual environment there are many ways for surveillance to creep in, in these new academic environments.
