Type: Informational Material

Overview:

Can you imagine a world without cell phones or the Internet? Today, the average teen sends more than 1,700 texts per month. Nearly 90 percent of young Americans are connected to the Internet, and many spend hours online every day. The number of social network subscribers now exceeds the population of most countries.

It's clear that digital technology is revolutionizing the way we connect to one another, making it faster and easier than ever. This can affect not only what we say and how we say it, but also who hears the message and how they respond to it. 

While this resource requires an account to save your work, it is not necessary to view resources. It is my recommendation that the questions in the lesson be used as talking points, discussion questions, journal entries, or written on paper and turned in. 

Students and teachers can create a free account at Alabama Public Television / PBS Learning Media.
