Texting and Literacy Skills

This is an interesting article from George Couros regarding the erosion of literacy skills due to texting. It is in contrast to my last post but I feel that we need to keep a balance. We have access to real-time information via Twitter before news organizations get a chance to send it out. George commented this weekend at EdCampSWO that our kids are not addicted to the device or forum through which they communicate, but the relationships that are enhanced because of it. We need to strike a balance. http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/2190
