NYT article of interest

Found this article, "Literacy Debate: Online, R U Really Reading?"
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/books/27reading.html?em,
and wanted to share with the class. I hope we can delve into literacy online/online literacy at some point.

(note: I edited the imprinted post date and time so it would be listed below our assignment; actual post date: 9/9/08, 8:44 p.m.)

Thanks for the article! I thought it was really interesting to read that some countries are going to begin testing for "digital literacy" skills.

I know that far too often parents, teachers, and even students think that if they do not like to read "books" then they do not like to read. I try and dismiss such ideas, but still -- books are overvalued as the only "noteworthy" reading material in our culture.
