Ron, why is it necessary to be pro-literacy? You mentioned yourself that you were astounded by people’s ability to retain knowledge.
If these people become literate creatures, their oral skills will begin to erode and disappear. (See Walter J Ong’s "Orality and Literacy", 1982.)
Just a little question. I think the oral strategies are working so well, that we don’t need to feel like we should go back to the literacy safety net of our western world views.
All in all you guys are doing a fantastic job and I loved your presentation. God Bless!
