An anthropological introduction to YouTube presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation.

A Vision of Students Today a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime.

Education is linear? Education used to be about transfer of information from teacher to student. Now there is too much information available in the world. Much of this information is being used by people trying to sell us something: an idea, a product, a political agenda, a way of seeing our entire country. New Hampton School's Junior Urban Adventure attempts to turn around this notion of one-way education in the same way that Web 2.0 is changing the way we think about the web. Students will learn to ask questions, make meaning from the glut of information available to them and engage, upload and maybe even start to solve some of the world's problems. I was inspired by many people and many YouTubers to create this video - and much of their work appears here. More than that - I've also been inspired by them to make their ideas actionable and create a learning experience that I hope will do justice to their work. Please check them out!

Authenticity Close to my previous question...what are the hallmarks of authenticity? when does a video start to stray from it? I noticed my physical pose here does look a little staged, but ive been sitting like that for hours. it works out on that chair. somehow.

Our Tech Story: CAT Students and How Tech Affects Us (MU Tang!) This is an in-class activity we did in Ted Curran's Digital Design class at City Arts and Technology High School in San Francisco. We wrote quick one-liners about the extent to which technology pervades our lives. Then we used the iSight camera on Ted's computer to film this video in class. This activity owes a great debt of gratitude to Professor Michael Wesch's piece entitled "A Vision of Students Today" that he made with his Digital Ethnography class at Kansas State University.
