The book " The Joy of Children's Literature" by Denise Johnson Stated that " the internet has narrowed the gap between people all over the world. Unlike the olden days, when a letter could take several days of even weeks to arrive at its destination, internet communication is almost instantaneous. Electronic mail (e-mail), listservs, instant messaging, chat rooms, discussion boards, wikis, and weblogs allow people to share ideas, opinions, and information."
This is true in regards to so many things. When I was in school the computer had just came out. My father bought me one yet we were unaware on how to use it we knew how to turn it on, play games, and turn it off. Now my 4 year old knows how to turn on the computer look for her sites and play. She has an iPod, iPad, and of course Mom and Dad phone. Its amazing how much information is created now, on the computer. Endless books can be stored in a small tablet that fits in your purse. So many interactive sites for young readers to explore. We are also able to meet the creators of all these wonderful books and interact with them, get a feel of their life and what made them become writers. " The internet allows teachers and librarians to literally bring a whole world of books or e-literature into the classroom." (children's literature) Students are now able to write a whole essay about someone just by researching the web. So much great information can be gathered or stored on the web. For example, I created a web-quest lesson for students, below is the link please fell free to take the lesson. Have fun
