I think both sides presented good research on the topics so I would like a way to incorporate both. If teaching cursive is a waste of time in the core subjects then I would suggest incorporating it into the art curriculum. Writing in cursive and typing are both skills and skills are important. Nothing is wrong with putting a bigger emphasis on typing but don't annihilate or despise cursive. I am for both skills.

Like all cultures, there are languages and norms unique to that culture. Social Networking in Real Life shows how the norms of social media seem so strange in a "real" setting. It's like someone from a different country and culture coming to a totally different country and culture trying to communicate with the people there. Also the #Hastag video proves that social media has a unique language/symbol that wouldn't really make sense in "real life" conversations. Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:16:41 +0000
