    Would love to get a group of classroom teachers together to have them go through these one by one and color in their matrix. Red for not there, Yellow for could see this done but have not, Green for is happening in my classroom. Maybe some in between colors to signal would like to see this taught on how to do. Then have Administration do it and then let them see the results from the teachers. Maybe that could help us find a direction that would best help us integrate with a buy-in factor.

How Slang Affects Students in the Classroom - US News and World Report - 1 views

k12 web2.0 slang classroom students report socialmedia

shared by Ken Fuller on 15 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • Slang terms and text-speak such as IDK (I don't know), SMH (shaking my head), and BTW (by the way) have become a common sight on student assignments, befuddling some high school teachers who are unsure how to fix this growing problem.
  • According to a survey of 700 students ages 12 to 17 by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 85 percent of the respondents reported using a form of electronic communication, whether through instant messaging, text messaging, or social media. Growing up in a technological era, high school students may be unaware they are using language shortcuts in the classroom, says Allie Sakowicz, a rising senior at Maine South High School in Park Ridge, Ill.
  • "I think that students don't even realize that they're doing it," Sakowicz notes. "When we're using all this social media we're not thinking about spelling words right, so naturally that's going to translate into the classroom."
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • In fact, 64 percent of students in the study reported inadvertently using a form of shorthand native to texting or social networking. But, the problem does not end there, as Sakowicz acknowledges that younger teachers see the slang but "let it go." "Not that they like it, but they kind of expect it," she says. "Teachers that are older and aren't familiar with all the social media devices are really upset that this is what's becoming of our language."
  • While advocates of slang words may say this trend is simply an evolution of language, Chad Dion Lassiter, professor of race relations at the University of Pennsylvania, considers it "a dumbing down of culture." Lassiter leads an academic mentorship program for high school students in the Philadelphia area and has observed "this broken level of communication."

    Wow - what an article. This professor may have a point. Is there such a thing as "death by Powerpoint"? I'm sure the point is accurate if the technology is used as a digital replacement for poor teaching strategies. I'm interested in hearing your feedback on this article.

    I think AppFresh was on the last image. It's a great way to keep up on the most recent updates available for apps, widgets, and plugins. Be careful though, a few glitches you may encounter when: -the update requires an OS update i.e. Leopard to Snow Leopard -the update requires a new license the District doesn't own -the app goes from freeware to shareware
