How is digital technology affecting our reading brains?
Dr. Maryanne Wolf, cognitive neuroscientist, Director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners, and Social Justice at UCLA, and board member of the Canadian Children’s Literacy Foundation, discusses the impact of technology – both positive and negative – on our reading brains and her new book, Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in the Digital World, with Indigo CEO Heather Reisman at 7pm on Thursday, November 8 at Indigo Manulife (Bay and Bloor Streets in Toronto).
“Provocative and intriguing, Reader Come Home is a road map that provides a cautionary but hopeful perspective on the impact of technology on our brains and our most essential intellectual capacities – and what this could mean for our future.”
