The Internet generation.

This class of 7th graders will be the first class that their entire life they have on average spent 5 hours a day either playing video games, surfing the web, and/or watching tv.

  1. Wow... hours! That's out of control! I just can't believe that. Where did you get that information? Did you do a surveymonkey.com or do they just tell you what they do? I know for me I have a problem tryin to get my studnets to do actual research. I find that they are always googling things and they find alot of wrong information. Does your 7th graders do the same?

    1. As part of the district wellness team we had a speaker from the state come in she shared the amount of time spent with us. I do know the information was by state. Maybe in states with better weather this is not the case. In Oregon that didn't suprise me. Where did you get that information? Martha Golden director Generation for Healthier Schools Did you do a surveymonkey.com or do they just tell you what they do? Same as first question. I find that they are always googling things and they find alot of wrong information. Does your 7th graders do the same? Yes they do. I find that sometimes they like to beat around the bush with things and never have the guts to ask what they really want to ask. Those crazy 7th graders.

  2. I am curious too how you discovered this interesting info! It's amazing how little time kids spend playing outside in their natural environment!
