[Dcmosls] Becoming Screen Literate

[Dan DeVona]

Dear Colleagues,

Wow.

Please make the time to read this New York Times Magazine article, "Becoming Screen Literate."
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23wwln-future-t.html?_r=1&sq=becoming%20screen%20literate&st=cse&scp=1&pagewanted=print

I think if you are devoting effort to making your library a Library 2.0, there are many compelling insights to reassure that direction and to help convince those who need to be convinced.

It also provides strong arguments for differentiated instruction; drawing eloquent parallels between the skills & processes of writing and those of "screen fluency."

I'll be making a post on my blog this morning about this article. I would love to hear your reactions and perspectives. 

Have a good day.

Dan
