Interesting article about reaching our "digital natives"

This article is interesting and so are some of the posts after it. There is truth here about teaching and creating guidance but as educations we know that often we are left alone in teaching respect and responsibility and overcoming poor habits already developed is a grueling process. I agree we must teach it in all realms of a students life but there are no guarantees. I really liked the comments afterwards about the wiring of the brain. Are we making more addicts by hard wiring a brain with technology so early? Oh the psychology of it! :)

Interesting article for those of us coaching no matter what the age group and not related to technology but a good quick read. Asks us to focus on what we are about when we coach student athletes.

An eye opening story! A couple of thoughts, first I would wonder how accurate this source of information is. Tyler may have been running his mouth just to get attention and to reinforce his bad a** image. I seriously doubt that he failed 10 documented drug tests as it is my understanding that drug tests are under the auspices of the NCAA rather than the member institution. Having said that, there is no doubt that we have too many pampered celebrities, athletic and otherwise (i.e. Lindsay Lohan and Anthony Weiner). I do, however, believe we maintain a culture of accountability at PHS
