Hi!
Welcome to my final project for ETEC 540, a dive into Wite-Out and its genesis and impact on literacy and education. The references mentioned in the “video” are listed below.
I selected the podcast medium; however, UBC Blogs was unable to host the file, so I had to convert it to a video to host it on this medium.
