  Let's extend this analogy to the art of reading: **In the past, the book and the computer might have been in competition with one another**...that's a "Reading 1.0" mindset. The technological tools posted in this wiki, however, promote reading //without// diminishing the importance or value of written text. **Harnessing technology to //excite// and //empower// your students' literary development is our mission for Reading 2.0!**
