A vision of students today.

Every so often something floats by in the river of news that disjoints you. One moment, you see the world this way - the next, you don’t.

Michael Wesch, a professor at Kansas State University is someone who keeps whacking my head in a totally thought-provoking way. First there was The Machine is Us/ing Us. Then Information R/evolution and now, A Vision of Students Today.

The thing about Prof. Wesch’s digital ethnography is how it both rings true and jars us out of our humdrum mindsets: technology changes everyone, including the technologists.

WOW! Thanks for finding this and sharing. As a parent of a teenager who quit school 3 months before graduation (who now has a GED) and of 2 younger children this really hits home. I am amazed at the cr*p kids are forced to memorize that has nothing to do with life. And important things (like how to manage a checkbook) are not taught at all.
