Literacy off the page: The Changing Nature of Literacy in a Digital Age

Is print dying? Are books a thing of the past? Can newspapers compete with the internet?  If the answers to these questions are yes, is it good or bad for the future of literacy? The 14th Annual Literacy Breakfast, “Literacy Off the Page”, is scheduled for Thursday, March 18 at 7:30 a.m. Speakers will address the changing nature of literacy in a digital age and will include William Crossman, philosopher, futurist and professor; Phil Bronstein, Executive Vice President and Editor-at-Large, Hearst Newspapers; J Maarten Troost, author and self-proclaimed “Luddite”; and Dr. Jean Holbrook, San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools. Join the provocative dialog at this year’s fourteenth annual Literacy Breakfast on March 18.   

Two hours of professional growth hours are available.
