Lidya,
I think that your argument that students should be provided the cultural tools for critical literacy in the context of hypermedia is very important. This is especially true of the students coming from other culture. I’m wondering how this could be possible. How could they be provided the tools?How can the classroom teacher scaffold all this?
Another aspect very important we should usually overlook is the evolving aspect of culture.In fact, because circumstances are changing,culture also changes. With this in mind,I wonder how do our students handle all this?
