I agree with Tom Hoffman here: "English teachers do not and should not believe that people 'access and use information.' That is not the way we think about the world, and it is not how the world works." It's very tempting to use computer metaphors to describe cognition, but it's wrong. Hoffman writes, "We believe that people read, write and create texts, signs, signifiers, culture." Anyhow, here's the skills map that Hoffman references - not as awful as it first seems, but a bit awkward in its employment of specif tools.
