Serious reading takes a hit from online scanning and skimming, researchers say – The Washington Post.

This is an interesting read from the Washington Post.  As we try to teach students to spend time carefully reading, we may be undoing that training in the way that we let them use the internet.  I know that my own attention span is affected when I spend too much time online.  Careful reading is a discipline and one that must be constantly trained in a student for them to be able to enjoy it.
