September 2021 - Skim reading is the new normal

Hi @Stephanie I agree 'click bait' is certainly a contributor to this problem. I would like to think that an inquiry that students are interested in may help teach students to read more deeply. Investing themselves into the process could help I feel. Teachers need to work with inquiry for this to work though. Otherwise we get students who are happy to regurgitate the information they need for exams and also continue to live in an online bubble. This for me is the truly scary part of all of this as it leads to students who can't think for themselves or voice an opinion based on facts.
