Welcome to... the Origins of Silent Reading
27 October 2013
Hello everyone,
It is our pleasure to share with you, our ETEC 540 research project on the Origins of Silent Reading. Our project takes a look at the History of Reading and progresses to Developing Silent Readers. Finally we leave you with some of the Implications for Education.
Our project, while being grounded in research, utilizes a multi-literate approach in presenting the information. Our intent here was to highlight that while reading has moved from oral to silent, there are also subsequent implications for reading, viewing and interacting with information in today's classrooms. As a result, we have chosen to present our work with the aid of a number of technologies:
* a timeline from tiki-toki.com,
* an ebook created at bookemon.com,
* a comic from pixton.com,
* art from Microsoft Word Clip Art, and
* related videos from YouTube.com.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy our findings,
Emma S, Kuljinder G & Ryan D.
