Standardized Testing and Developing New Literacies

See “Standardized: Part I”

Video by Shannon Carter (Texas A&M-Commerce) about her brother Eric Carter (b. 1973), whose experiences with traditional literacy education and associated technologies (pen/paper) were altogether unsatisfying. Video essay also describes his movement towards technological literacies. The video then progresses into a discussion of literacies in our daily lives, including video games, music, and writing in/for digital environments. Contributes to the national conversation on writing by sharing one man’s literacy narrative.  Video is incomplete and in process.
