Blog Prompt 9/17/12
For our project, I think the resources that would be the most useful would be newspapers, popular magazines and governement documents. I feel that these are the most useful because texting in the classroom is a relatively recent topic of interest but I don't toss away the use of the other resources. If we could find any scholarly books about texting, we could use them to get an expert perspective on the effects that texting has on a student in the classroom. Also, if we could find a scholarly book about delinquency and misbehaving in the classroom, we could use that information to look at the way the inforcement of rules effects student's behavior. Popular magazine would be useful in finding the youth's perspective on the topic, also a good source of survey based information. Newspapers are the sources of information that are constantly being updated and released to the press in a quick fashion, allowing for up to date information. Government documents will provide us with statistics, criminal reports and school progress information. The encyclopedia will be a tough one, mainly just using it to find basic information about texting. We could use the scholarly journal entries in the same way we use the scholarly books. We could use them as expert information on our topic.

Hey Megan, I agree with your statements. Newspaper articles and magazines are the most current forms of referenced sources. They are easily attainable and for the most part accurate. Since texting, is such a popular topic now a days,many journalist have started to cover the topic in their articles. I also agree that getting the youth's perspective is a very important aspect in this type of research. I look forward to seeing what you can do with these references! Good luck
