Best form of Literacy?

This blog post, written by Anne Davis, reviews another blog that echoes the TIME article “How to Bring Our Schools out of the 2oth Century.”  One point that I thought was very interesting was an audio clip imbedded into the post.  Apparently, the children of her classroom said that the best writing tool they had were video games.  It allowed them to create and follow a specific story line, work with protagonists and antagonists, it allowed them to make choices in the story, and had a specific beginning, middle and end. I found this very interesting that the children argued this in class and that it was even more interesting that the teacher presented this information seriously!  There is no doubt that this is very interesting and a novel idea, but I can personally recall myself in high school being a gamer, and don’t actually find this argument to be valid at all.   I do find it fantastic though that the teacher is taking seriously the fact that writing and literacy is moving into a very digital world.
