Entry 5

Dear parents,

With technology consistently improving and entering our homes we find our children playing with the newest gadgets.  The question is raised, how much is too much?  We find our children spending more time on the computer then they do outside.  Well, recent research performed by Sandra L. Hofferth shows that increased screen time actually helps our children academically.  The children experience more reading, problem solving, and communication then previously expected.  Personally I believe their should be equilibrium between being on the computer and being outside, it's nice to know that the increased screen time is not hurting our children academically.

Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Mr. Patton

  1. Very interesting! I have read that kids are rewiring their brains with too much technology. My children will be pleased with this information!
