  • Frequency and Academic Performance" individuals who spend two or more hours playing games on a daily basis score lower in every subject than their non-gaming counterparts. By spending a high percentage of time on video games there is not enough time left to spend in studying for classes. The study found that there was "not a single significant positive correlation between gaming and academic performance."

      Good article but this site is not the most credible.
  • steven bloom on 06 Oct 10
     
    This webiste tells us that the only positive effect of video games on kids is that it helps with problem solving. According to the Australasian Journal of Educational Technology said that anyoen who spends two hours or more playing video games per day have have a lower grade point average in every subject. This aritcle tells us that playign video games may improve the child's street smarts and ability to solve but not their book smarts.

      This article is related to my project because it talks about how teenagers are not aware of their surroundings, instead they are more focused on facebook, MSN. It also shows an example of how teachers could help teens become more aware by doing simple things in school. As my topic is about apathy and teens being unaware, this article helps a lot.
  • The benefits of being socially aware are endless. Everything from becoming an informed voter to donating to a needy cause is influenced by one's consciousness of current affairs

      By being socially aware, teenagers can have so many more benefits compared to if they are not aware of their surroundings. Being aware can help us in the future and now by, as they say in the article, becoming an informed voter for example.
  • Joseph Miceli, a high school religion teacher, says that discussing current events within the standard school curriculum is "a very practical and effective way of making learning more interesting and real." Although many teachers do an excellent job of making current events relevant in the classroom, Miceli questions whether or not it is consistently used within all subject areas.

      Although teachers are very good at their job, Joseph Miceli wonders if teachers are teaching us enough about current events going on around us. If certain teachers would start to put more emphasis on this subject, teenagers would maybe begin to learn a bit more about their surroundings.

  • Although today's youth are more media savvy than ever before, there seems to be a missing link within the information chain. From soldiers' deaths in the Middle East to fundraising events in their own community, today's teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news.

      This statement here represents perfectly our topic. It is a fact, teenagers are often uninformed about current events and world news and it is'nt necessarily a good thing. They now have more "important" priorities in their life such as facebook, texting , being with their friends etc... that they don't take the time to see what is happening around the world. Basic knowledge, and some teenagers don't even know stuff about their own country.
  • "Students would rather spend hours on social-networking sites like Facebook and chatting on instant messengers like MSN than searching Google for important world issues," says Clarke.

      Technology plays a huge role in today's generation... and I believe that it could be the cause as to why teenagers are not as aware of their surroundings now. They are more occupied in the latest web invention instead of simply taking 10 minutes of their time to Google stuff about world issues.

      While this is interesting, a newspaper report quoting one teenager is not the most credible source. It's ok if your other sites are excellent.

  • And while the researchers found a strong relationship between video games and lower grade point averages, playing video games did not appear to affect math skills and had a positive relationship with visual-spatial skills. These skills – in which a child learns visually, by thinking in pictures and images – are considered the “training wheels” for performance in science, technology, engineering and math.
