This week it all about the Social Animal of People -

How does our social media consumption effect our group formations? IS is good or bad? What does the book think?

What about Fortnight?

This was a comment form a student on the Video assignment

I am not sure I could come up with a direct link that I know of about social media and the works of memory but I can think of how social media personally affects my memory. During the Talk Peter Doolittle mentions that we could really only hold 4 things in our short term memory ( 3:00). With this being said when I scroll through social media I will get reminded of thing to do or that interest me. I will countie to scroll before trying to go look for the information I need, but with in a few seconds and scrolls later I can not remember at all what I wanted to look up. So I usually start all over and try to jog my memory or rethink if it when I saw the original trigger picture or post. Because I sometimes skim books or post my brain does not fully capture what I am attempting remember or learn.

To Sign or Not to Sign?

Child development experts agree that it is a good idea for parents to begin talking to their babies from the moment of birth. From that moment on, babies are learning language.

Why wait until babies can speak to teach them to communicate with the caregivers? Why not teach them sign language and communicate with them in sign language when they are 4 or 6 months old??

Controversial at the time it was first suggested a few years ago, teaching babies to sign has plenty of supporters and lots of companies willing to train you and your baby to sign. In fact, the only detractors come from those who fear that parents may feel under pressure to learn sign language in order to make sure their babies get the claimed “jump start” on language development.

Among the benefits are exposures to making language six months or more before most children speak their first word (usually at 12 months) thus enabling babies to express themselves. Experts say babies and caregivers are less frustrated because they can express their needs and wishes. It is also believed that signing babies become more adept at spoken language earlier. Some suggest that IQ scores are higher among babies who signed before speaking by as many as 10-12 points.

What is your take of this idea? Have you ever heard of it? Would you want to learn sign language in order to teach their babies to sign?

Below are a number of websites to further explore the topic. Look at one or two of them before participating in the discussion.
