    I don't have skype, but I'll make myself available tomorrow at whatever time is best for everybody else. I agree with Jana though, that Adria might be the best person to submit the assignment. Can we do a chat?

    I got AIM a couple of days ago, so that's okay with me if everybody else has it too.

    During my research I came across a number of books and articles which suggests that traditional literacy (books, journals, magazines, etc.) and media literacy (internet, mobile text & chat, blogs, etc.) are different type of literacies and therefore one does not enhance the other, but breaks away from it and we all have to develop new skills to learn media literacy. So is learning a new literacy enhancing the old one?

    I've been trying to formulate some additional ideas in support of this argument, but I'm not there yet, so still working on it.

    This is a report written by Sonia Livingstone and based on research that calls into question whether "the literacies required for today's communication and information environment an extension of, or a radical break with, past traditions of knowledge and learning?"

    Yeah, a case can certainly be made that technology is more a convenience than an enhancement, but obviously this view has to be supported. And I agree with you Jana, that being able to take this course via technology is more of a convenience than an enhancement. Hope we make this deadline :-)

  • "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."

    This release by UCLA newsroom sheds light on a study and quotes Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles as saying that "Wiring classrooms for Internet access does not enhance learning," among other statements she makes in the study.
