The idea makes sense. It is clear the world has erupted with a brand new age of technology. We have successfully put the majority of our individual and social lives online. From Facebook to online classrooms, our generation has placed new meaning on the word literacy. I am just happy that I was not born any later than I was. Educators need to be fluent in this new realm of communication and media. students are exposed incomparably more to virtual literature, news, and curriculum than they are to the printed alternatives. I think the article couldn't have been more correct when it said students are becoming more literate than educators. This is because the worlds definition of literacy has transformed to accommodate today's young people. For the first time in history, young people are more literate that old people? This may or may not be true depending on how you view literacy. But in a world that requires more and more online presence, young people have a huge advantage.
It all means we as educators better kick it into gear and/or figure out how to keep up with online media or our students will not see opportunities to learn anything like we do.
