Okay...
I am having some issues creating a powerpoint...Not with the program itself rather trying to relate Piaget to smartphones...Not sure how many slides everyone else is making but I don't have a lot. I have read numerous articles trying to make sense of it and how they could disrupt the stages of cognitive development. I will see you all tomorrow and we can get this worked out. Hopefully everyone else is having an easier time than I.

Most of my posts are on how texting affects social life and grammar. Some offer advice on how to counteract these affects and how parents can monitor or control the use of texting.
This article talks about the social impact of text messaging comes with a video!http://www.newsy.com/videos/texting-beats-calling-for-u-s-teens/
This website has some quotes from teachers about their opinions on the effect of texting on students’ grammarhttp://www.enotes.com/soc/discuss/what-effects-that-texting-has-teenagers-65991?start=0
http://www.mobilephonesandsafety.co.uk/does-text-speak-affect-grammatical-ability.htmlThis piece speaks of what teachers do to fight using text speech in their papers.
This article gives some stats on what people think about students who text and then a case study. It also mentions that those who text aren’t as in depth in writing.http://www.docslibrary.com/text-messaging-and-its-effects-on-teens-grammar
This article provides another link to a full report that lists more stats. The bottom of the page has a calculator that says teens text more but college students have a higher percentage of phones compared to teens. You can see where you compare to a teenager when it comes to text by filling out your sex and how many texts you send a day based on their studies. This could be something the class could do. We could come up with an average and see where the class compares with teens.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126117811A quote from the url link above. The teacher’s talking about computers here but the article is mainly on texting.
"They can get up the courage to ask you for [a deadline] extension on the computer," she says. "But they won't come and speak to you face-to-face about it. And that worries me, in terms of their ability — particularly once they get out in the workplace — to interact with people."
This lists ways parents can combat texting and promote face to face interactionhttp://blog.growingleaders.com/uncategorized/building-relationship-skills-in-a-texting-generation/

found some videos and images that we can use in our presentation. One has a great quote.
this image has a great quote
I was also thinking maybe we could make up a little funny test to start with in text talk and the class has like 1-2 minutes to try and figure it out?? Something to think about.

Hi everyone, sorry I have not posted anything, was having internet issues all weekend. I was able to get some photos off of bing.com and one has a great quote. I also found a youtube video clip that we might be able to use.
these are a few but for some reason I am having some issues getting the other ones to paste it. I will bring them to class tomorrow night.

Pretty cool article. Touches upon the potentially positive effects of technology in education (i.e. increasingly students' cognitive skills). Also mentions the potential for internet and mobile technologies to become addictive for users. The most useful portion to our research is found in the article's mention of the power these technologies have to distract their users. Inability to filter out unimportant data, decreased attention span, and anti-social behaviors seem to emerge from excessive use of these technologies.

Here is another cool article and excerpt from an interview about the implications of living in an "always on" society. I just bought the book that the article mentions. It looks like the content of it might be helpful to our project.
