From Special Ed to Ph.D. (with Dr. Shawn Anthony Robinson)

Q: If someone had no idea about this story, how would you quickly summarize it?

Maryanne Wolf on Digital Literacy
Q: Is there a way to do deep reading, reading on with digital, with the digital media?

Q: Do you think that the kids are in jeopardy of losing that empathy?
