Robson, M (2009). How Teenagers Consume Media. gaurdian.co.uk,
In the article How Teenagers Consume Media it was quit shocking to discover that teenagers never bother to read the news paper. So the question arises where are teenagers receiving their information? Many of them are on the internet, especially public networking sites. Are teens receiving any information of relevance, or educational importance? I would also like to know of these teenagers how many are reading books and what are their levels of literacy. As a future educator some questions I would like to ask is:
If teenagers utilize the internet for so many daily functions how can we format education to engage the learner? I think to answer this question it is important to remember the internet is not just a fad it is here to stay. With that said computer based educational programs off the internet can be developed and utilized as teaching aids. For example I know of awesome math websites for students in which provide instruction and offers practice to help sharpen skills.
Since the internet is used extremely often by adolescents how can we utilize it in the classroom to compliment the learning process? In the same way the internet can be used to supplement the lesson plan in the classroom by not only providing information about topics but aiding the students in researching topics using the internet. By having students utilize the internet in this way will open the door for teens to view the internet as an informational tool instead of a tool to pirate songs and movies.
