    The Building Learning Communities Conference (Alan November's Project) has a number of great videos. For you fans of the Kansas State University Professor Michael Wesch, here is one of his 2010 presentations. Wesch presented at the fall WASDA conference in 2009. It was awesome.

19 College Professors Worth Following on Twitter - 2 views

  •  
    They've hit two of my favorites, including Michael Wesch and Scott McLeod. I'll have to research the others! They have, however, missed Clay Shirky. 
  •  
    No one from the UW system. :-(
  •  
    Twitter is so Iowa and Kansas. (McLeod is from Iowa State and Wescsh is from Kansas.)

E-Mail's Big Demographic Split - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    What a great graphic to ponder. Apparently, email is not instantaneous enough for generations new to technology. Michael Wesch often quotes Marshall McLuahn who said, "We look at the present through a rear-veiw mirror. We march backward into the future." This is a perfect example of how older age groups adapt to new technologies, which is through their understanding of the past. 
  •  
    I think this connects to your post about the youtube "cheating" video. We have to understand how the world is changing and, even if we do not like it, adapt to these changes. Just as email has become outdated, so has multiple choice tests from test banks developed by book publishers. I'd be inteersted in Michael Wesch's thoughts on the "cheating" incident.

Published: The Old Revolution - 1 views

  • n the pursuit of these new learning environments we find ourselves asking those wonderfully fundamental questions: What are “the basics” and “basic literacy skills” today? How might our students best learn them? How are schools/classrooms/desks/subjects/schedules/teachers necessary to this learning process, and how are they not? And these are the best kinds of questions, because their best answers are just more questions. And so we find ourselves exactly where any great learner would want to be, on a quest, asking question after question after question.

    Thoughtful argument in favor of changing our paradigms in education.
