Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

Michael Wesch
This video is educational in the fact that we as college students pay money for a good career, yet the teaching methods do not seem to be any different from high school. Michael Wesch has a way of involving students into conversations of how colleges are today. Technology has taken over the classrooms and there is less teaching being performed by the teachers. Not only has technology taken over the classrooms, but has taken over our lives as well.

I agree wholeheartedly that facebook has changed the life of all students. What's even worse is that middle school and high school students have engrossed their lives into facebook as well. When it comes to facebook we seem to be more interested in it than we are with our class work. Technology needs to be more positive instead of negative. By being able to move around through technology it helps us more than we realize. As for social networking it makes us become more in tune towards our surroundings. I especially like the park when the young man held up a sign that read "I pay hundreds of dollars for books that are never used each semester."

  1. I'm not sure I blame Facebook as much as I blame our failure to be creative in our teaching and learning.
