What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Students today are as a rule very Web-savvy, and digital technologies are very easy for them to learn and navigate within. Whereas a few years ago students using online technologies were seen as "surfing the Web" or visiting Internet sites that contain inappropriate material, today many students are utilizing social media technologies and other digital services as part of their learning experiences. In fact ICT-based educational strategies are finding their way into high schools, colleges and universities because faculty and administrator realize ICTs are not just tools for entertainment, but rather are useful links for learning, for researching, and for personal development vis-à-vis problem solving.
