Read the following text to answer the
question bellow:
The role of technology in language and literacy education
As Dourish and Bell (2011) have pointed out, “The technologically mediated world does not stand apart from the physical one within which it is embedded; rather, it provides a new set of ways for that physical world to be understood and appropriated” (p. 132). But those new ways of understanding and appropriating are not likely to be developed automatically. A favorable disposition of mind is a prerequisite. And that disposition is probably best fostered in educational settings. Young people today learn digitally mediated modes of expression largely outside of school, and those out of school uses of digital technologies are often more varied and more sophisticated than those they encounter at school (Jenkins, Purushotma, Weigel, Clinton, & Robison, 2009; Lundby, 2008). This raises the question of what the function of schools should be with respect to digital technologies and literacy. If literacy is the know-how needed to deal with the technology of writing in a given culture, and if globalization and its attendant social and technological changes have simultaneously increased individuals’ control of and control by technologies of communication, then I would suggest that the answer to the question above is that schools need to foster literacy that includes a dimension of critical semiotic awareness.

According to the text, the technologically mediated world influences the understanding and appropriation of the physical world, therefore what role should educational settings play in this context to improve students’ awareness?
