Readings discussion:
Nicholas Carr does Google make us stupid
Dan Keller chasing literacy
Scott Dewitt optimistic reciprocities
Arguments that suggest online reading diminishes learning/cognition/comprehension
Can students retain info when passively reading?
Consistent attention
Does this affect being able to sustain long thoughts in writing because of online writing
Students will be. Lulled into thinking they will only get response if they write short texts
Online space is commercial space
Arguments that suggest online reading supports the same
Conventions in online texts actually work to signal how to read
Commercial presses are thriving because of revenue stream
Online reading provides access that might otherwise not be available
Change is happening, and younger people are conscious and nimble about what is going on around them.
We make choices when and how to pay attention and what to attend to. We have different abilities and needs for paying attention.
Optimistic reciprocities
We need to tap into students desire to write for social media that has a very real audience instead of writing things that only go directly to a teacher audience.
Cs: says ask what if students know something I don't about what reading and writing will be like in the coming years?
