Multimodality,'reading' and literacy

During the class activity, Joyce and I were wondering how we should approach the website
http://eyesondarfur.org , just then we decided to look at the website's main page and see where it leads us without really thinking about how we should go about it, then I realised and understand why this is one of the the award winning websites. The entire website is very structured and at any point we are able to explore it with ease.

It is from this activity that “the affordances of new technologies reconfigure the multimodal aspects of reading and writing in ways that are newly significant for reading” (pg 107, Jewitt) made more sense to me. I have not thought about my reading path when viewing any websites, but usually thought of them as easy or difficult to move from one page to the other, which somehow makes me realise that I can teach children about their reading path through linking this experience. As I am very sure they would have similar experiences thus it might make them more aware about their reading path and if they would to ever get a chance to create a website of their own that they would also take into consideration their viewers' reading path and create good websites. :)
