Definición

  • It is common for elementary and secondary educators to blame declining academic achievement in reading and reading ability on their students' use of electronic media. Citing such anecdotal phenomena as students' difficulty in reading texts, lowered attention spans, and preoccupation with films, television, video games, and most recently, computers, teachers and caregivers are quick to make a causal connection.
