Literatura în era digitală

Abstract

Abstract: The new media compete with reading practices in an unprecedent way as they offer new opportunities for both reading for information and reading for pleasure. Educators can choose to blame the digital era for school shortcomings. In a pessimistic perspective, students who extensively use the internet become superficial and get limited brains. There is nevertheless an optimistic approach where the new technologies, if they are well tuned to sound planning, could catalyze quality learning and deep reading. Our paper starts from a few conclusions in recent cognition studies by reputed analysts and presents successful school activities where students who use the new media step naturally and effectively in the literary universe and internalize concepts and values.
