Description
How does reading digital texts affect students’ learning? Although studies suggest that students comprehend more when reading on paper instead of a screen, a majority of students access readings on their phones (and on the go). How can educators help students to read effectively on screen? Cohn calls on educators to “draw explicit attention to the act of reading” to guide students towards reading well in a range of spaces. She offers a digital framework to guide students through curation, connection, creativity, contextualization, and contemplation; discusses annotation and other tools; and situates contemporary reading within historical and material contexts. Please join your colleagues for a discussion of Skim, Dive, Surface: Teaching Digital Reading by Jenae Cohn, 2021. Bring your lunch or a snack and join in the conversation!
