I really like this chart that compares traditional reading with online reading. We need to understand that students are growing up with online reading in ways we only experienced as adults. Well…most of us depending on your age!
I think this is a good way of looking at reading comprehension. These skills should be taught early on so kids/students can be more effective readers in online and in classical 'textbook' reading.
There is a shift to have students read more informational test as well as compare two texts. I think need to teach students to read more and be critical about what they read.
The chart demonstrates just how much more complex the process of online reading is in contrast with traditional model. At this juncture in time, in most instances, I believe teachers are learning along with their students. We can't waste time becoming proficient in these new literacies. Technology outside the realm of education (at least in our district) is providing digital experiences for our charges at a much faster pace than the classroom. We are lagging behind.
"...readers monitor the meaning they are constructing." on a subconscious level. The proficient reader, while online, functions on a higher cognitive level assessing, sorting, and synthesizing the multifaceted information provided during this 'higher level' reading. This chart compares and contrast the traditional with the digital quite well.
I was particularly intrigued by the Internet Reciprocal Teaching. Not that i am looking to more on my plate as a technology teacher than I already have~but this seemed like a very systematic approach to teaching students online reading comprehension skills that will be invaluable to them as technology continues to broaden. Not that these skills are not ones that we don't already address but this seems to go even deeper.
