The article is titled "The Language of the Internet in the Classroom." The article speaks highly of today's "media-savvy students" who use digital technology in their every day practices. This article can be found at http://www.ncte.org/second/ideas/127391.htm (hope it's still there). I actually find this to be a very interesting topic. Please view the article and see what the National Council of Teachers of English has to say about communication styles on the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Also I find that when writing, be sure to always have your intended audience in mind, and stay focused on why you are writing to that audience. Even now, I am thinking of you all when writing this blog. This is what is directly guiding my delivery! I will also preview before posting to check for syntax. After proofing, I'll then post my comments.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I am going to be teaching at Piper this coming school year. I expect to be teaching a new class called "American Mosaic." If you enjoy using blogs and message boards to extend classroom discourse, I plan to utilize at least one of these platforms for classmates to stay connected throughout the semester. I look forward to an exciting new school year in which we will be discussing a variety of topics integrally related to the American experience past and present. Please enjoy the remainder of your summer and I may even see you in American Mosaic when the new school year begins on August 20th or in the second half of the school year when two sections of American Mosaic will be offered!Mrs_Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262840102868374059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318588703755554184.post-86969782598430502052007-07-23T10:19:00.000-07:002007-07-23T10:19:00.000-07:00OK Mr.wells i got the point you want to kill me......OK Mr.wells i got the point you want to kill me... i get it.

I don't necessarily agree that instant messaging necessitates a paring of language, though I would agree that in its most pervasive permutations it is often shorter bits of writing. To me, this factor is analogous to speaking. However, one cannot discount the fact that, well, we are writing when we communicate in this formate. I would like to continue this discussion, and I greatly appreciate your feedback!Mr. Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959406346542233106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318588703755554184.post-61057913682204695182007-06-12T19:20:00.000-07:002007-06-12T19:20:00.000-07:00Even though instant messaging language is rather u...Even though instant messaging language is rather useful, it lacks some of the personalized characteristics of standard writen and spoken language. I prefer not to cut parts out of my original thought, so text messaging isn't my ideal form of communication. Descriptive words are usually omitted and sometimes articles. Phrases are simplified, sentences condensed, abbreviations are emphasized. It's language at its most efficient (as this world demands): expressing the same ideas with the least words. <BR/>A newer generation of shorthand, if you may, which is just as potent without being verbose.Lidia.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01490678844750805088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318588703755554184.post-56214971830863787282007-06-04T16:10:01.335-07:002007-06-04T16:10:01.335-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Big Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035248477759270361noreply@blogger.com
