In Wednesday's session Karen was interested in looking at the impact of text-talk in the classroom, the article at the address below was written by David Crystal to help publicise the release of his book on this subject. The Guardian also has a couple of articles by Will Self and Lynne Truss disagreeing with his comments. David Crystal is a Professor of Linguistics and has written numerous books on English and language, including the Encyclopaedia of Language and the Encyclopaedia of the English Language. These differing opinions could give you some ideas.
