Coiro--Podcast
http://www.voiceofliteracy.org/posts/44978

This 10-minute talk opened another page of online reading. Coiro doesn't care about the devices, but more online or offline for middle schoolers. It is pretty attractive if we could get rid of the influences of devices on the process of reading. Personally, I still believe that devices do matter but it may depend on the age of the readers. My assumption is the older, the less impact of the reading devices.

Two points here Coiro mentioned here grabbed my attention:1) online reading is different from offline reading. This nonlinear reading needs skills in searching, locating information in addition to critical thinking; 2) Skilled offline readers may not be skilled online readers due to different strategies used in the process. If this second one is true, then the teaching and learning of reading class need to be moderated in a way to adapt to this argument.
