Spring Break Reading

As we near spring break, here are some interesting articles you might like to check out. This is also a good time to check out some of the previous posts on the blog that you might have liked to investigated earlier but did not have the time.

1. Digital nation - this was mentioned in an earlier posting but if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch it over the break. It is a documentary produced by the PBS series Frontline that looks at the impact of digital technology on our society, especially younger generations. You can view it in clips at Frontline's website. It is about 90 minutes but very interesting to watch.

2.Visual Learning - this article looks at the impact on math achievement when using visual aids.

You can see it here.

3. Internet Depression - this article looks at the relationship between how much time you spend online and depression. See it here.

4. Friends no more - this article by USA Today looks at how some people are saying "NO" to Facebook and logging off. Read it here.

5. "I" Generation has no off switch - Finally, this article looks at how the latest generation has technology as part of their DNA - figuratively speaking. Read it here.

If you have any other requests or other things you'd like to know about, please let me know. At the March staff meeting you will have time to investigate some of the posts on the blog as well as some others I will give you. Feel free to check them out any time.

Enjoy the readings and have a good spring break.
