Reading print vs. digitally: Let the debate begin

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Makoto Rich has an interesting article on how reading has changed and is changing. Questions to consider as you read:

  • What, exactly, is reading?
  • Can what you do online, including weaving through hyperlinks and reading comments on what others think, be considered reading?
  • Should traditional tests of reading be updated to reflect what Internet users are doing online?
  • Is more education needed in how to evaluate the veracity of online sources?
  • moodle and (Extensive) Reading

    Are you using moodle with your English students? Do your students read books as a part of their program? If you can answer yes to both of those questions, then I have put together a database module (free registration required) for moodle that allows students to keep track of their reading. You can get it by clicking here.

    Currently, students will need to input their own student ID number, so you can search by student, but there is a fix in the works to have searchable student information added from moodle’s own database. Film at eleven. Thanks go to Tom Robb for giving me lots of helpful advice. :-D
