Reflection:Advocates of digital media education agree that reading online demands different skills than reading print-only texts does.
I 100% agree with this statement. As an honor student my entire life, I've excelled at every kind of book work including reading out of a text book, taking notes by hand, and print outs, but as the world got more high tech and online, I wasn't gaining the skills I needed to succeed. The first time I had to take a read a story on the computer screen and then answer a series of questions about what I read, I exceeded the time frame because it was extremely difficult for me to read on the screen. If schools helped teach children at a younger age, reading on the computer screen versus a textbook would be much easier for them.
