Research on Technology and Literacy
Educational researchers and practitioners alike assert that the potential of
new technologies for learning is likely to be found not in the technologies
themselves but in the way in which these technologies are used as tools for
learning (Means & Olson, 1995; Owston, 1997; Valdez et al., 1999). In literacy
instruction, technology has both traditional and authentic uses (see Singh &
Means, 1994). A traditional use of technology is skills reinforcement; for example,
students who need additional practice in reading might work individually on
computers equipped with reading-comprehension software. An authentic use of
technology is using it as a tool to accomplish a complex task; for example,
students who are creating a written report might use the Internet for research,
word-processing software to write and format the text, and hypermedia software
to add images. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the variety of uses as
they illustrate best practices.

Just because something seems contrary doesn't mean we cannot use it in some form to help our rebuttal. This article has all its references at the bottom and is from a teachers association "The Alberta Teachers Association". -

"Studies show that reading develops imagination, induction, reflection and critical thinking, as well as vocabulary," Greenfield said. "Reading for pleasure is the key to developing these skills. Students today have more visual literacy and less print literacy. Many students do not read for pleasure and have not for decades."
-
Among the studies Greenfield analyzed was a classroom study showing that students who were given access to the Internet during class and were encouraged to use it during lectures did not process what the speaker said as well as students who did not have Internet access. When students were tested after class lectures, those who did not have Internet access performed better than those who did.
