Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 1, 2015. October 5, 2015. So what are they? They are Kobo eReaders. Apparently carefully crafted to deliver a superior reading experience .

Anyway they are light and portable and offer access to over 4 million of the best eBooks, comics and kids’ titles including best sellers (Rakuten Kobo, 2015). Check them out….

Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 18, 2015. October 19, 2015. Access, Access…read all about it! Can I suggest that if there’s anything more topical than the use (or not) of ‘new media’ in schools, it would have to be the filtering of access to the internet. We all know there are pros and cons to filtering access to information, and we all agree on the need to protect youth from ‘unsuitable’ or ‘inappropriate’ material. But who decides on what is and is not suitable material? This study identified...

After perusing the list, I settled on a book I’d never heard of before: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. 8220;And why was it that some guys had tears in them and some had no tears at all?

Youth No More? | Mr Lewis Ruminates
https://jeffreysruminations.wordpress.com/2015/09/27/youth-no-more
Ramblings of a Gen-Y Teacher. Buck Institute of Education. Reflections on Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. When the clock ticks past midnight this coming Friday, it will be my 25th birthday. While many of the people I work with remind me of my relative youth, I’ve been grappling for a while with the feeling of being in a sort of limbo: stuck between these two worlds of ‘youth’ and ‘adulthood’ that I don’t fully understand or feel I belong to.

Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. October 24, 2015. October 24, 2015. I’ll keep those thoughts for in-house or maybe even a future post! Besides, I just finished my annual review and thought I would capitalise on the efforts. So, in keeping with my first post to ‘some degree’ I thought I would share another ‘popular’ experience in our library in 2015. Working on inquiry with the entire year 7 cohort was a highlight of 2015. This experience enabled me to put into practice some of my learnings. I wonder if...

Youth, Popular Culture and Texts. September 28, 2015. October 5, 2015. Determining who we are, what we like (or not), and how we react/respond to what occurs around us is shaped by a range of factors. Traditionally, family and culture played a major role in shaping identity however, in recent decades it is suggested that popular and media culture is the most dominant form shaping this perspective, particularly for youth (Tilsen and Nyland, 2009).
