5 hours a day watching tv, playing video games, or engaging in other screen-related activities || What are the implications of this with regard to school performance? Has the current audio visual technologies aided instruction or impeded it? || I've learned that with all the new screen technologies, even more time is spent on these sedentary activities (mostly by older school-aged children), however there are some amazing technologies that are important for students to learn about and use, especially for students with disabilities or learning differences. There will have to be a "happy medium." || other healthy and developmentally necessary activities || What is the connection between media exposure and health problems in children? || Obesity and diabetes are a huge concern,although not the focus of my paper, and I did find studies that suggest a connection between screen media exposure and ADHD. || exposure to certain forms of media has influenced brain development || Has excessive exposure to media been linked to learning disability? || As mentioned above, there have been studies that connect it, although weakly, to ADHD, but behavioral problems are more of a concern, based on studies that link aggressive behavior to violence in the media. || limiting children's media exposure || Have educators played a role in this movement? How and why? || Many educators participate in TV turn off week, and think that children should have a broad-based, more diversified foundation for learning, besides the media platform. || games or learning apps, improve educational development?

 * Purpose and Thesis Statement Assignment**

What is considered "very young children?" __Thesis Statement__: The recent increase in television and video viewing by infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers has been shown to have a detrimental effect on the cognitive development of these youngest of learners. Evidence of research may be more clear if you reword the thesis statement by saying "Research shows...." Does the increase on media exposure effect lower SES students as well as higher ones?
