we had a myspace report on the news the other night, correlating time spent on myspace with lower grades. remember how we balked at sesame street's format (you may not be old enough too -- but i sure do remember)? might find the same thing with youtube and myspace -- altering the culture in ways we can't imagine -- not bad or good. myspace is really interesting. i've been doing searches for a report i'm doing on different educational companies and noticed that their employees my space's come up. why not have class to a myspace writing activity but as another character. okay okay maybe i'm crazy.

I've asked them to tell me about their video games, but they can't tell me anthing beyond the surface. They don't get involved with the games like previous years, it's just something to do. Sadly, most don't play with any passion. If they watch TV, it's MTV and the sex shows like BEDROOM INVADERS or Jackass type shows. NO STORYLINES, only YOUTUBE type experiences with short 5-10 minute clips. They don't even watch IDOL or other shows. Mostly YOUTUBE, MYSPACE, and other things they shouldn't be watching.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Renee" To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Listserv" Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Comprehension in general > Bill, > > Do they play video games?
