CRIANÇAS QUE USAM AS NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS SÃO 'MELHORES ESCRITORES'



Quem o afirma é a insuspeita National Literacy Trust num estudo que abrangeu mais de 3000 crianças/jovens entre os 9 e 16 anos. Entre estes, 24% tem o seu próprio blogue e 82% publicam mensagens,pelo menos, uma vez por mês. Por outro lado, 73% fazem uso recorrente do chat, 77% tiram apontamentos nas aulas e fazem trabalhos de casa.
"Our research suggests a strong correlation between kids using technology and wider patterns of reading and writing," Jonathan Douglas, director of the National Literacy Trust."
"Does it damage literacy? Our research results are conclusive - the more forms of communications children use the stronger their core literary skills."
"Most primary school teachers are doubtful about hooking children up to computers - especially when they are young," said John Coe, general secretary of the National Association for Primary Education."
"Mr Coe said he was in favour of using computers for research purposes in classrooms and that he agreed that all forms of communication helped young people to develop core literacy skills."Ler +
Com estudos destes começa a ser tempo de olharmos para as nossas bibliotecas e avaliar os nossos serviços, os nossos recursos e, sobretudo, a oferta de formação, devidamente planeada em trabalho colaborativo com os professores, que temos para os nossos alunos. Não queremos 'perder a carruagem', pois, não?
