e-literate - a video

Pacific Bell/UCLA Initiative for 21st Century Literacies commissioned the production of e-literate, a 15 minute educational video to be used by teachers, librarians, community leaders and parents to introduce 21st century literacies to young people. Produced by noted writer/director Thom Eberhardt (HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KIDS, CAPTAIN RON), e-literate addresses facts versus opinions, bias, and information reliability in a humorous yet provocative tone that makes it appropriate for multiple age levels, including children, teens, college students and adults. The report E-literate: Promoting 21 Century Literacy Skills is also very interesting in terms of who has used the video and how it plays to various audiences for various purposes.
