Digital Text and the Future

After reflecting on http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2007/06/05081600/10 and http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/viewArticle/864/773 I have come to the conclusion that digital texts can make some disabilities irrelevant.


I have to somewhat agree with Lynch, that the future looks bleak for written texts and printed books; digital text is the future- and present! I like that new genres are being created especially for the online world. As a future teacher, this sounds amazing to me; being able to include multimedia in a text is quite practical.


Books for All shows that digital text can be the support many students need to succeed. This showed progress with dyslexic students, visually impaired, emergent readers, and many more students.


To me, digital text keeps showing it’s benefits. I hope that eventually it will be used in all schools for all learning types. Digital text is so versatile and can fit a variety of learning needs.
