"Unlike reading assigned textbooks, reading online challenges students to make judgments about the reputability and validity of the information they see."(Ivanitskaya, O'Boyle, & Casey, 2006)Reaction
I chose this particular quote because it stood out to me; I like how it says it "challenges" students. Not only would reading online help students with their technology skills, but it would make them actually WANT to read! The reading mentioned that students would enjoy clicking links to assignments instead of just flipping pages. I feel that teachers should allow students to have this opportunity often in their classroom. Students are already used to the internet for social networking and researching, why not have it for readings too? The internet is such an effective tool for students, so why not use it to educate them once in awhile?
