This chapter is right on target of what we have to do to tap into our middle and adolescent students...incorporate their style into our teaching. Online discussion panels are a great tool to use to help our students open up with each other and get comfortable with expressing their thoughts and ideas. I know that when I was in high school, I did not voice my opinions as much in class discussions as I did in the homework writing assignments that followed the discussions. I think that it is so important to give our students time to think about their thoughts before we just throw them into a discussion. This can be a wonderful form of group collaboration as a way to promote socialization with all of our students.
So about this literacy crisis that the world thinks is occurring...don't you think that we need to change our school standards of what classifies as a textbook? For instance, have you taken a collage coarse where the is no "textbook" but a packet that you buy that has various resources that are bound together, which is used as a text in the class. Don't you think that if students were exposed to various types of resources on learning the material that I could interest them more?
