Comment on "Link Between Literacy and Technology"

(For some reason, the site wouldn't let me comment on Rachel's post directly, so here is what I wanted to say...)

Thanks, Rachel, for your post. Since I didn't read the article that you did, I liked how you talked about different categories covered by the author. It's interesting to see how, in some, books and internet have commonalities, while in others they have differences. I agree with what you say (in the "Asking Questions" section) about it being easier to get lost on the internet without mental guiding questions; did the author say why this is the case? I was also intrigued by the fact that your kindergartners are growing as internet readers. They read on the internet??? I was in a fourth grade class last semester in which the students used computers regularly, but I never realized that they were being introduced to computers in school at such a young age.
