Nurturing a New Breed of Reader: Five Real-World Issues (Infotech‪)‬

Google grazers, iPad advocates, and e-book evangelists.... Ask a group of young people their preferred reading tool and you'll hear a wide range of answers. Technology, both inside and outside the school library, is changing the way children read, as well as our approach to teaching. While some children are browsing books about cities of the world, others are skimming reference books on the Kindle reader, and yet another group may be using the DK Eyewitness Travel Apps (traveldk. com/apps/ew-cities) on the iPad to explore famous sites like Westminster Abbey. They're all reading. However, each tool provides a different set of experiences.
