Engaging in new forms of media—not just video games, but also graphic novels, fully interactive hypertexts, etc.—will better prepare students to think critically about these forms of media and how to analyze them as texts. This could be important for their future success as these forms of media become increasingly prominent. This could lead to all kinds of great discussions and textual analysis—and could help your students develop a new understanding of just what makes Literature so important and using the internet to our advantage. I would be able to harness the power of the internet and attach it to my teaching wagon. I can set up a forum or comments section in which my students and I can discuss the books we are reading. There are a couple distinct advantages to utilizing technology. For example, I can ask my students questions or post comments anytime. I will be able to answer a student's question once, and it's there for everyone to see. Students with similar questions get their problems solved at the same time, allowing time and effort for more direct instruction. In order to cultivate the kind of technological literacy in our students called for by leaders in the field, it must simultaneously be cultivated in our teachers. While the literature in the field of English education demonstrates the efficacy of computer technology in writing instruction and addresses its impact on the evolving definition of literacy in the 21st century.
