      The only thing here is a clickbait headline trying to go viral on Twitter/Facebook. tl;dr they used Twitter for an inappropriate purpose (teaching literary analysis!) and surprise, surprise it didn’t fare as well as an appropriate method (proper classroom instruction). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1134057201100820480 …

      Twitter is eroding your intelligence. Now there’s data to prove it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/30/twitter-hurting-intelligence-not-smart-study/ …

      Even if you thought such a study somehow made sense, it has nothing to do with intelligence or eroding it. The clickbait headline on the other hand, sure. 🙄 Not clicking on it is the only helpful response. (Consider me as taking one for the team😬).

          😂 Seriously. If we use divide and conquer techniques maybe we could eliminate articles that don't pass the muster w/o everyone being exposed and time-consumed.

          I keep wondering if there is any way to introduce critical analysis of research design into popular understandings of what "studies prove" or don't prove. Probably not.

          Clickbait all the way. I mean, 1500 high school students, at most you can say its an epic fail as, well, teaching literature method. Why would you think tweeting about a novel be a good learning tool, i’ll never know. Still, i agree with the information “bites” not being optimal.

          Sorry I had to see myself. Granted I’m obviously in the group of people addled by Twitter’s effects...but the study finds that having students freeform tweet about a book results in lower test scores (about that book) than students who studied+tested the book in a classroom? 🤯pic.twitter.com/FYtLMMBgFA

          I think it's increasingly popping up on people's radar screens. EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT was fine when the choice was between zero information, or coughing up money for the only source of NEWSPAPER news for 100 miles.
