Welcome students and visitors!
In unit 5, we learned all about the benefits and drawbacks of various types of media. We learned about teenagers who spend more hours online than they do sleeping and about kids who text their siblings, even when they are both in the same house! We also learned about how young people in Egypt used facebook and twitter to fuel their revolution and about how some students in New York created a video to express their views about charter schools in their state.
Here are some of the articles and videos we looked at this unit:
Learning about the ways that young people use media inspired us to want to try out blogging in our own classroom. Take some time to look around; we hope you enjoy what you see and even learn something while you are here!
