  • 90 percent of parents said their children under age 2 watch some form of electronic media. On average, children this age watch televised programs one to two hours per day.
  • Parents who believe that educational television is "very important for healthy development" are twice as likely to keep the television on all or most of the time.
  • Many video programs for infants and toddlers are marketed as "educational," yet evidence does not support this.

  • our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined
  • Reading for pleasure, which has declined among young people in recent decades, enhances thinking and engages the imagination in a way that visual media such as video games and television do not, Greenfield said.
  • most visual media are real-time media that do not allow time for reflection, analysis or imagination — those do not get developed by real-time media such as television or video games. Technology is not a panacea in education, because of the skills that are being lost.

  • "Studies show that reading develops imagination, induction, reflection and critical thinking, as well as vocabulary," Greenfield said. "Reading for pleasure is the key to developing these skills. Students today have more visual literacy and less print literacy. Many students do not read for pleasure and have not for decades."
  • students who were given access to the Internet during class and were encouraged to use it during lectures did not process what the speaker said as well as students who did not have Internet access. When students were tested after class lectures, those who did not have Internet access performed better than those who did.
  • "Wiring classrooms for Internet access does not enhance learning," Greenfield said.

    What did you find here that helps our argument?
  • Devin Davis on 14 Aug 13

    This is just a website I found on the internet that shows education is provided on the NET. I haven't found any statistics so far about this program but I figured this could be something we could mention to prove the internet is a resourceful tool to learn.

    That's not what we're trying to prove at all. Perhaps you need to read the assignment again. We are supposed to be REFUTING the statement "Technology (through television, texting, Facebook posting, and the Internet) has contributed to an increase in literacy skills." We need bookmarks that support our side of the argument.

literacy decline

shared by Cody Fink on 14 Aug 13 - No Cached
  • Literacy has been under siege for some time. The supposed agents of this threat have changed over the years but the perception remains constant. Television, movies, video games, mobile phones, and the Internet have all been identified as the culprits that rot the brain, desensitize, delude, and generally ruin the minds of the young (and perhaps everyone else too). At the core of much of this concern is the perceived decline of literacy.
  • “The illiterate, the semiliterate, and those who live as though they are illiterate are effectively cut off form the past They live in an eternal present.”
  • This “eternal present” is comprised of “comforting, reassuring images, fantasies, slogans, celebrities, and a lust for violence.” It is a world devoid of substance, dislocated from history, reflection, and nuance.

  • When students were tested after class lectures, those who did not have Internet access performed better than those who did.
  • As technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research by Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles.
