Double Journal Entry #7
Quote- "Educators face enormous challenges in preparing their students to be critical online readers. For the most part, the teaching of critical-thinking skills is not part of the regular curriculum, and printed text is still considered the mainstay of school reading."
Response- I really wonder how much longer this will be the case. I already have had some classes that have opted for online texts over printed ones. I'm sure this trend will only continue to increase. Also, with devices like Kindles and Nooks that can download an entire book in a matter of minutes, paper texts might be a thing of the past sooner than we think.

I agree! I think honestly printed texts are on their way out! My niece is just starting high school and for one of her classes their textbook is completely online! Its less expensive and more convenient. And your right, with all these e-reading devices, students can get the same information in an online format that they could from a library. Good post and great point of view!
