“Literacy debate, Online, R U Really Reading? ”by Motoko Rich argues that the online reading skill will change the brain’s circuity, give you the main point you need to read, and help the student learning in better way. Rich using comparing and contrasting between reading online and reading of books. Rich tells us that more people would reading online instead reading in book because “you have to go through a lot of details that aren’t need in the book, but online reading give you what you need, nothing more or less.” He also describes that “online reading help children fare better when they begin looking for digital-age jobs.” Which it helps them to success in the future. Rich also argued that some student using computer at home, they would

Technology is “stealing” the time we spend on reading books. As Nicholas Carr has mentioned in his article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Many famous writers are having troubles on reading books. Most of them have not been reading books for months (447). That is one of the impacts that the technology gives us. Teenagers spend most of their time on smart phones and laptops. They have already absorbed enough information from the Internet. As a result, when they are trying to read books, they will feel like they are having a hard time concentrating on

As a new revolution rears its head due to rapidly evolving technology, many are becoming concerned with the potential problems that e-books could present. Ms. Elliot, a retired librarian, expresses her apprehension and concern for this electronic book form through a speech conducted at the “Reading: the future” forum. Directing her speech to mainly booklovers, she also reaches out to parents whose children will be most affected by the development of e-books.

Whilst investigating my literacy topic on placement I decided to not only interview my mentor teacher but also interview two students to gain their perspective on the use of technology. I believed their point of you view was valuable to my findings and wanted to discover firsthand if students are enjoying and finding the use of technology helpful in their literacy classes. Whilst assisting on placement I approached two children and interviewed them at different times, the two children in particular were very forward and honest when sharing their opinions with me. From their opinions they expressed in the short interview (refer to Appendix 1) it is evident the two students would rather read an eBook than a book and find it exciting and fun, this would cause more engagement and focus on the text. The two students also mentioned that pictures in the eBook are animated and this helps make sense of the story. It is clear that an interactive reading experience, acquires students with a greater comprehension of a text (Hutchison, Beschorner and Schmidt-Crawford 2012). These findings support my research question relating to the importance of learning literacy with the assistance of technology. Another artefact to support this matter (refer to Appendix 2) is a task students completed, which involved them writing up a draft of a poem and later they were to type up the final copy. A number of students were completing their draft on a laptop, I asked the teacher why they were not

Electronic reading devices have become popular in recent years. Some schools have even gotten rid of paper books entirely. Their students read everything electronically instead. While eBooks have their place, their use in schools should be limited.

Technological advancement is constantly occurring within this generation. It happens so often that we as a group are no longer amazed or amused by it-it is expected. In both Love’s and Hayle’s texts, the reader learns that technological advancement impacts a skill that most people believe to have a good grip on-reading comprehension. “Most psychologists assume that people read entire blocks of text on a screen in much the same way as on paper-at least once factors such as eyestrain, scrolling time, and page refresh rates are accounted for” (Love 6). Love is arguing that reading online has more distractions than reading actual print, which is a given. From opening up a new tab and searching for something on the Internet to being able to look up the definition of a word directly on your E-Reader, “screen reading” seems more tedious and demanding than simply opening up a paperback book or actually buying a newspaper in a store (Love 6).

This involvement with e-books may lead reluctant readers to spend more time reading and interacting with texts (DeJong & Bus, 2007). According to Moalloy, Marinak, and Gambrell (2010), reading tasks that motivate students have some important features such as the freedom to choose among alternatives and control over the reading tasks. This perceived control has had an impact both inside and outside of the class (Malloy, 2010). Also, Flowerday and Schraw found that learners who reported greater perceived control and choice of reading materials were more involved in their classes, and were more motivated to read at home (Flowerday,

I do not know why, but I found myself not interested in books. In general, I think in out culture, reading is not popular as other cultures, and those who love reading is just an exception where the majority do not read. In addition, however, there is a generational shift towards reading habit, I think me and my generation do not read books as those in the previous two or three decades, and that’s due to many factors. Technology is one of the most important factors, one the other hand, Kindle is exploiting technology to make people love reading and it succeeded in doing so with me and others. Unsurprisingly, a study shows that those of age between 19 to 29 are the most prolific E-book readers (1). However,this artifact (E-book) is posing any considerable threat to the hardcopy book industry in the near future. There’s a report shows that a few readers have abandoned the hardcopy books for E-books

Reading has become a less populare past time.Before smart phones, my friends and I would talk about books,now our main topic of conversation is usually about the newest Grey’s Anatomy or Scandal episode.Technology runs our lives. This is illustrated in “Raising Smartphone Zombies”.It shows how kids and teens are addicted to their device and are troubled when it’s taken from them.Most kids will probably choose an episode of Scandal over reading, as a result they need to be reminded of all the great things that comes from reading.By reading we gain knowledge over simple things but it’s also proven that kids who read, have better spelling.It also reduces stress which can come in handy expecially if you go to Jasper. Even though I may not read

Reading book depends on multiple factors such as age, education, gender, and race. According to this article, age may be an important factor. The authors reported that the highest percentage of reading group is young age (18-29 years). The statistic also shows that getting older intend to read more. Nevertheless, the percentage of reading is not significantly different in people with age 50-64 (81%) and over 65 years (80%). Moreover, the authors illustrated that the majority of the reader (92%) are well-educated people. For the purpose of reading, in this article, we found that male prefers to read because of study or work, while female aims to read for their pleasure. As per ethnicity or race, the authors claimed that approximately 16 percent of well-educated African-American

In a world of tablets and smartphones, people tend to feel confused whether a dedicated e-reader is the right choice. E-Readers give the ability to carry thousands of books on the go saving paper and helping to make this planet greener. The big question is whether a dedicated e-reader is better than multipurpose tablets and smartphones. There are many

I find that I personally don't read much outside of the classroom if it is not accessible from any of my portable devices. On most occasions,

Book Reading has always been a favorite past time for people since ages. In olden times, there used to be ample time for people to read books as it is an only way to increase their knowledge and open minds. As the time advanced by, the lives of people became so hectic used with the use of latest technology and have no time for reading books. E-book is an excellent option for people now to read their interesting book on websites and smartphones.

In today's high tech world, there is a growing group of parents who question why kids should read. They think that the interactive games and stories on smart devices, paired with educational programming on television, offer a richer experience than plain, simple books. While it is important for children to gain modern skills and experiences, there are critical skills and knowledge learned by reading books that are not replicated or replaced by technology.

During the development of technology, most people have shifted to use electronic books to read both academic and non-academic texts. However, despite the technological changes, there has been a wide debate about the benefits of paper books over the e-books. It is important to understand that various reasons are suggesting why people should shift back to using the traditional books rather than the electronic ones. Even though some think that e-books are better that traditional ones, I believe that readers should return to traditional books because of various reasons.
