Scheduled for November 3 an online focus open to the community to deepen the issues addressed during the meeting with Maryanne Wolf. Digital culture requires the brain to have different neural connections from the traditional ones, other types of capabilities and interpretation and manipulation of symbols. This is a transition already underway and the challenge we face is about integrating deep reading with digital innovation. Registration link will follow. #StayTuned
