This article denotes a definite decline in "reading" literacy but acknowledges an increase in "visual" literacy, due to the increase of technology and more learning through video's and pictures. There is also an important point made in the need, because of this increase in technology, that the term "literacy" may need to be redefined. Many studies have been done to show benefits of "reading" (a literal book) but mentions that there are no studies that actually measure the full intellectual benefits of visual learning. -
Just realized that this prezi was created by a Full Sail student who participated in this particular debate a little over a year ago. i love the prezi he created.
