A Comment Turned Post

I posted this comment on Jeanne's blog, but I want it to also stand as a post:

What I found interesting about the David story is that it seemed to imply criticism of standard English requirements employed by the institution (a literacy that David could not find a home in), while elevating the literacy that David COULD find a home in: a tech literacy or new media literacy. What I think this article fails to imply is that tech literacy/new media literacy work to create power structures AKIN to those that standard English is accused of: that is, those without that literacy suffer out in “the real world.” It seems that new media literacy is being viewed as “the answer” to breaking down the authority of (or assumed oppression of) standard English, while I see it continuing - or even - reinforcing power structures. If you lack it in a new media environment, you will not have power (which is yes, why there is a move towards teaching it and using it in the everyday classroom - but this does not mean that this form of literacy is any less competitive. It seems more competitive to me right now).
