The final moments of the KSU YouTube video cause the cognitive dissonance that Professor Stearns was talking about during our last class meeting. The read and write web is something that is going to have us reshape the entire world as we know it. We, as humans, are often reluctant to change and tend to approach it from a pick and choose viewpoint (I think that’s why the video had anthro journals in it).
Before we try to grasp the changing form of governance, the idea of literacy must first be tackled. The three-dimensional reading that Warlick talks about in his second chapter shows us perfectly how a student can completely learn a subject. To such an extent that that anyone picking up the report is going to learn something new. The obstacle that I see us having to over come is whether the information the student is conveying will be retained, that seems to be the problem with teaching despite the medium.
One of the many benefits I see to creating a three dimensional text, is that student has the opportunity to annotate their own work, not just supplying substantial back round information on a given topic. Their writing style may contain nuances that maybe overlooked and now they have the chance to demonstrate to there teachers why they chose a particular word assemblage. This idea could also be used by teachers to have students better understand literary concepts in an assigned short story, of course in the form of an eBook.
