This is a hard blogging prompt for me. I do not know too much about digital media and its effects on language. I think that when one sees spelling mistakes on the internet a lot, they may mistakenly use them. I may have done that myself. So I guess my opinion has not changed if I did not have one in the first place. As regards this article the link is here , I think it is certainly possible that digital media can enhance learning of language, since it is a form of communication one can practice with.
This article by Sara Bernard the link is here expresses a lot of different sides to the arguement, but her view on the increasing amount of communication with texting benefits relationship skills and the skill of communicating clearly, reflects mine.
Great article! Edutopia is a wonderful resource for teachers!
