The first confession

After reading Alvermann's article I felt conflicted. I can fully see why she is urging us to keep up with the times regarding technology/literacies. Yet, I couldn't help but feel this welling up in me that wanted to defend the traditional method. Is this because that's what I experienced - at least for the most part? Do I feel somehow like my credability will be debased if I change from the way I was taught? Did any one else find themself feeling a bit in opposition to Alvermann's proposals?
