- #6 Erin how literacy is changing with new technology (especially e-books, internet, video games). - Technology Good: Instant access to books and information; opportunities to build background knowledge through pictures, virtual tours, etc...- Technology Bad: Very little filtering of 'bad' or poorly written material; limited focus because of overload of material (this causes only a breath of information versus depth).
