Digitally literate or unengaged and unfocused?




Of course, the title is a false binary, but this popular press article brings up topics that educators must consider in nuanced ways. How does being so plugged in, including young children, effect us? And what do we want to be sure to nurture to be fluent in those digital literacies as well as print literacies?

What do you think of the points raised here? alarmist (check out this response)? sentimental for a romanticized era gone by?

When you are using your smart phone/tablet/laptop, how focused are you on a single text? How focused should you be, and in what instances?
