Thing #4 Response to SSR 2.0

When I read Mark Edtech's blog, I found myself in agreement with him about how my reading habits have also changed as a result of technology. I no longer read the newspaper. I read my news on-line. Although I have not given up books, reading books on-line seems to be the growing trend; think Kindle.
Mark stated that his students were extremely receptive to the idea of blogs. As a matter of fact he states that, "The classroom was the quietest and most focused I have seen in a long time during silent reading." This is definitely an idea that I would like to try with my students.

  1. I agree with you that reading habits in general have changed with technology. I also no longer read the newspaper because I can check the headlines the next morning. I no longer receive magazine subscriptions because I can "google" any topic of interest. Although I still do read the occasional book, I have recently tried books online and love it. I can listen to them while driving or exercising and it is wonderful!
