The new classroom

The word text derives from the Latin textura (web) which, in turn, comes from the Latin verb, texere (to weave).

CENSORSHIP MANIPULATION

ONE-TO-MANY

MANY-TO-MANY

More time consuming media

...Or what is called entertainment media.

8-18 year olds devote over 53 hours/week to entertainment media

Multitasking means they can fit 10:45 into 7:30 every day

TV+Internet+Mobile

TV leads, but SNS, Videogames and YouTube are the top activities as they go “online”

Elementary school boys spend twice as much time as girls - 5.5 vs 13hrs/week - playing videogamesPreschoolers play for 28 minutes/day

Tell me somethingand I’ll forget,

Show meand I may remember

Involve meand I’ll understand.
