Do you agree with Johnson that students, and indeed younger teachers, are increasingly 'post-literate' in the manner that he defines and uses this term?

I agree that students and young teacher are increasingly ‘post literate’ as Johnson defines. I also agree with his statement that it is a return to more natural forms of communication, speaking, storytelling, dialogue debate and dramatisation. From the readings in this course and ETL401 I believe that school libraries are already adopting some of the critical attributes of Johnson highlight in his article. This may be a natural progression for school libraries as they adapt to the changing needs of teachers and students with regards to fiction and nonfiction resources.
