I enjoyed reading the article and was glad to learn the facts and numbers about the Clinton-Gore project. I am convinced that literacy eductation is a political act. The part that I am interested in is Remembering our own role in the literacy cycle. "Computer-using teachers instruct students in how to use technology-but, all too often, they neglect to teach students how to pay critical attention to the issues generated by technology use. Teachers who choose not to use technology in their classes content themselves with the mistaken belief that their choice to avoid technology use absolves them and the students in their classes from paying critical attention to technology issues" Both groups come to the same end by neglecting technology and taken it for granted.
