text education

There was a website mentioned in class, textEd.ca. It teaches all things texting. First I thought it seemed kind of stupid, and silly. I went and visited the sight, and at first glance my feelings didnt change. There was a dictionary of abbreviated sayings or words for texting, a top 10 what you would respond to these texts, but then there was more then enough articles promoting safe texting. There was a"textual relations" area that discussed about healthy, and unhealthy relationships, and how to deal with harrassment over texting. There was a section with "guidlines to safe texting". There was also a section called "ichoose", which discussed all of the above, and how to be in control if your texting. Ill admit this website seemed pretty stupid, and its obviously not for the more mature crowd, but for a young person with a cellphone, which im sure there are plenty of, it promotes smart texting, and safe texting, and that can only help.
