If the information available is now accessible based upon the amount of money the provider is willing to pay, then the Internet will separate from being a place of democracy and become a place where money controls information!
Steven Engravalle's insight:
Essentially, net neutrality grantees consumers that we have access to all content regardless of perspective or source.

Internet providers will make decisions for us.

When students share their writing with an authentic audience, they raise their game.
Steven Engravalle's insight:
Students generally find writing experiences to be artificial. A common outcome of that artificiality is that teachers feel disappointed in the quality of writing turned in because the students are capable of better results.
