Adults, Cell Phones and Texting - Pew Research Center - 3 views

    • Daryl Bambic
       
      Adult texting is on the rise but doesn't compare to teen use. It would be very interesting to find out why Blacks and Hispanics use their cell more than White teens.

      This would be an interesting project and not too difficult to find more info.  The PEW research site is invaluable for information about internet and cell use.
  • African American and Hispanic cell phone users are more intense and frequent users of all of the phone's capabilities than whites. Minorities send more text messages and make more calls on average than their white counterparts.

  • The average adult cell phone owner makes and receives around five voice calls a day. Women tend to make slightly fewer calls with their cell phones than men -- while 53% of women make and receive five calls or fewer per day, 43% of men say the same. Men are a bit more likely to make slightly more phone calls in a day; 26% of men send and receive six to 10 calls a day, while 20% of women exchange that many calls. Men and women are equally likely to be represented at the extreme high end of callers, with 8% of men and 6% of women making and taking more than 30 calls a day.

BrainJogging » New studies find video games to be detrimental to children's s... - 2 views

  • Boys who received a game system at the beginning of the study showed an immediate increase in how much time they spent playing video games and a decrease in the after-school academic activities.  They also had significantly lower reading and writing scores than the group of boys that were promised a game system at the end of the study.  Parents reported no behavioral changes, but there was an immediate increase in teacher-reported learning problems for boys that received a game system at the beginning of the study (Science Daily).

      This is a common argument for the negative position.  Be aware that there are educators who use gaming as a teaching tool and believe that it can be positive.

      This site is an example of how a web page can have a blog section.  The purpose of this site is to sell a product but the author (a special ed teacher) also has much experience and a point of view on an important topic.  If there is a place to leave a comment, then you may consider this as a blog.
