From literacy to digiracy: Will reading and writing remain important?

  • The article had a negative tone about the supposed change to "digiracy," but the last paragraph was contrary to that:

    >"Teachers must recognise that our pedagogical tools are inconsistent with the skills needed to survive in a world where people are always connected to everyone and everything. In such a world, learning to think for oneself could well be more important than simply learning to read and write."

  • As one commenter noted on their site, the lust to learn and the rate of success should be linked to the socio-economical situation, rather than the technological argument. Bluntly put, children from the rich families have a higher probability of success than the children from poor families.
