Abstract
Digital texts and digital practices of writing are dramatically different from analogical ones. According to this scenario, the new millennium literates are supposed to have complex and crossmedia skills of searching, evaluating, using, creating and sharing texts. In this paper, a selection of results of a multiple case study carried out within Plan Ceibal, Uruguay, an OLPC project, in 2009-2010 are presented. The research focused on exploring if, and how, children’s literacy skills and practices change when the personal learning environment consistently includes the ICT and the Net A mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, and developed in order to analyze the process by which the children of the case study give shape and meaning to written texts with analogical or digital media. The results show important differences in the approach to texts and suggest guidelines to schools and teachers involved in the change of traditional didactics to digital learning.
