I'm doing a research paper on this particular subject and it is a bit hard to find something that I can use as a source.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407546475646270594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813863976364150957.post-8679247336121742922009-02-20T05:13:00.000-08:002009-02-20T05:13:00.000-08:00Yesterday I shared this post with my two children....Yesterday I shared this post with my two children. They feel very different about the electronic world. They feel alarmed that adults don't credit them for the amount of reading and writing they do. My daughter pointed out how daily she is online creating stories and poems with friends, how the electronic world provides her a place to share her writing with many and also to read the writing of peers. Also she is reading a variety of interesting topics that are within minutes of her fingers. Both kids love how even our local libary now provides mp3 players so they can listen to books in the car since reading and riding in a car make them carsick. My son reminded how many times he has played a video game that sparked more interest in a historical time period and together, he and I have gone to the computer to find more information. Many times this search also lead us to some great books which we checked out from our local library. They both spend time reading in bed before sleeping every night, but for them, reading doesn't have to just come in book form.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I just thought is was interesting to see this from a child's point of view.<BR/><BR/>As always, thanks for making us think Resa. ~CathyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076282329093508289noreply@blogger.com
