Re: [LM_NET] NYTimes article on Literacy

I was lucky enough to take a course with Don Leu, the renown researcher in  
reading and literacy. He contends that reading online requires a different set  
of skills than reading print; we educators must teach them the necessary 
skills,  such as knowing when to click on  a link, evaluating sources, etc. I 
tested  some students on online searching and found my results in agreement with 
his;  often the better students do not perform as well as less proficient  ones.
As educators we must teach both print and online reading skills!
