As a world history teacher, my students must be able to communicate to me in writing. As we continue to introduce technology to our classrooms, our students benefit from the accessibility and ease of putting together their assignments. Some forms of technologies, which are not common to the classroom, have also contributed to the decline of our students' writing skills. Many students have the ability to communicate in writing, however the short messages used in text messages, emails, and other forms of electronic communication have led to improper writing habits in the classroom.
Problem Statement: I plan to research the over use of technology by today's students to determine if it has led to poor writing habits in the classroom.
Who: Grades 6 - 12
What: The over use of technology by pre-teens and teenagers.
Why: Although the different forms of technology are great tools for education, are they creating generations of students with poor writing skills?

Fred,
ReplyDeleteGood question! I ask myself a similar question all the time about my math students and calculator use. I know Microsoft Word has made me lazy with remembering how to spell.
