When Is Reading Not Reading?
(WORLD) I'm reading a lot of articles lately about the changes in young peoples media consumption habits and how this is impacting on their educational expectations—why is it wrong to expect education to be a multi-media extravenganza?
I still haven't figured out is 'reading' only something you can do with a book?
Technology has changed students' reading habits so profoundly that even experts on learning are scrambling to understand how young adults use gadgets and gizmos to process information and whether they actually absorb much of it.
So these little moral panics about young people and their time spent jacked-up (online) raises some interesting questions: should education keep up with the young people or drag them back? Should the whole media landscape slow down and decrease its output or should we get kids to turn the power off? Or is it a a simple case of 'online oxygen'?
