Texting while walking affects your balance

I totally agree that texting while walking seems to be obvious, but it can be annoying to other people.  If people start doing this continuously they might get used to it. This can also make people forget what they were about to do. "a woman fell headlong into a fountain at a Pennsylvania mall while tapping on her phone, a blunder that was captured by a security camera and was widely mocked on YouTube."(Griggs).

I believe that the course can effectively integrate blogs,twitter,and or other web 2.0 technologies by students comments on their peers."Blogs can work in a similar way if students are encouraged to read and comment on their peers’ posts to produce extended dialogue."(Barillari) Also,students can compliment and ask questions about the material which might be helpful in a sense of understanding the material better . Moreover, students can always go back and review from their peers or their own material when needed to review for exams. It can also improve writing skills.
