Bibliotecas móviles como instrumento para promover la lectura - 0 views
-
Cuando pensamos en bibliotecas móviles, siempre las asociamos con los bibliobuses. Sin embargo, existen otros medios de transporte, que son usados en determinadas zonas, a las que no se puede llegar de otra forma: el agua, la selva o el desierto no son barreras para acceder a la lectura. BIBLIOLANCHA En Argentina: Una lancha de 8 m de eslora recorre las islas del Delta del Paraná en el noroeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Dotada de un fondo de 2.000 ejemplares, dispone de ordenadores con conexión a Internet y organiza talleres de promoción a la lectura.

My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.

Towards a Theory of Digital Literacy: Three Scenarios for the Next Steps - 0 views

This is indeed the probable default scenario. If that is so, and if the radical hypothesis about the civilization clash is true, it is likely that photo-visual skill, branching skill and reproduction skill will be powerfully enhanced, while the ability for criticism, or indeed, rational thinking of any kind, may deteriorate.
