This activity brings to light the amount of time the current
generation actually spends “plugged in” to computers, phones, video games and TV.
Without thinking about it we can end up spending countless hours a week
attached to our devices.
Have students hypothesize about their own “plugged in”
trends and share.
Take a look at this site http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/State-of-the-Media-2011-TV-Upfronts.pdf and print some interesting charts or pieces
of information, show them on computers, or project it for your students. Then
lead them in discussion of the trends in TV watching.
In the following advisory class discuss the class trends.
1.
On which days did you spend the most time in
front of a screen? Why more on those days than others?
2.

daily average?
3.
What is the role of screens in your life?
4.

5.
