One thing I feel quite strongly about is that the use of digital technology doesn't preclude my children's use of "traditional" forms of ICT. A book is a form of information communication technology. Jonathan might be a thriving digital native in a cyberworld but he loves to read as well. One of the first uses my middle dd put the internet to was searching Amazon for books. She was 9 at the time and while a confident reader not particularly engaged by the books available locally. Those Amazon experiments where she could read reviews as well as about the book itself had her exploring a wider range of books and were a significant step to her view of herself as a good reader. The photo was taken about a week ago on a Saturday night.
