I would define print culture as - Print culture is all the aspects of print for communication. From the alphabet to symbols used in todays society, such as a symbol meant to show a womens restroom.
The benefits of print culture compared to oral and scribal culture - The main benefit is that you can have many copies of a print, there isnt always extra copies of oral culture. With print culture it allows authors to be defined and acknologed.
The impact of print culture on society - Society has grown away from alot of the print (ie newspapers) They are growing toward more digital copies of print.
How are changing technologies influencing print culture - People prefer more immediate communications. They want their news fast. They prefer to have information in places where they never used to be able to have it.
What are the implications of these changes for learning in schools - Schools need to offer print in a variety of methods. Students are use to playing video games and the reading in the games would be electronic. This encourages them to read and therefore teachers need to capitolize on their interests.
Excellent connections between changes in print culture and what teachers need to do to better engage students in schools as a result of these changes! We will talk a lot about capitalizing on students interest in digital media to engage them with print culture!
