Do you hear the people studying for hard tests?

It's EXAM WEEK! Blaaaaaaah

I'm currently listening to Les Miz, which I haven't listened to in AGES. My current favorite song is "Stars" but I also have always been a fan of "One Day More" and "Master of the House."

Anyway, want to help me study by reading some info I'm typing out? SURE YOU DO!

Ok, I'm currently studying for Children and Media, and one of the things we've talked about is the way that media violence relates to young kids. There was a video that was amusing (though I thought it might've been the tiniest bit staged...but that's just me) where they did an experiment called Barney vs. Power Rangers.

Basically, the film crew set up in a preschool room and showed the kids and episode of Barney. They then engaged in calm play. The next day, the kids watched Power Rangers, and they immediately broke out into chaos. Kids were throwing punches and fighting over which power ranger they could be. Even the really peaceful kids enjoyed playing by kicking and play fighting. It was quite a site to see!

Also, my text gives these four ways that the internet can be used as an effective learning tool.
1. Use Active Engagement
2. Learn Through Group Participation
3. Learn Through Frequent Interaction and Feedback.
4. Learn Through Connections to Real-Life Contexts.

...or you could just be like me, and learn by blogging about your study guide. ;)

Goodnight, everyone! Sweet dreams!
