The BBC must have seen my post yesterday about Facebook receiving bad press… Today there is an article about how technology such as social media, blogs and text messaging is giving young people improved writing skills.
Johnathan Douglas from the National Literary Trust said “Engagement with online technology drives their enthusiasm for writing short stories, letters, song lyrics or diaries.” (BBC)
By building up young peoples confidence using social networking, blogging and video diaries, it will then enable the young people to approach potential employers and trainers whether it be by phone call, letter, email or in person. Every-time a person writes a comment on somebodies Facebook wall, sends them an email or even a text, they are practising their communication and writing skills with out even knowing it.
