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!

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.

Rethinking US. A Student's Journey and discovery of YouTube - Learning from the Digital Ethnography Working Group @ KSU. http://youtube.com/groups_members?name=ksudigg This video tracks the journey I began when researching the question - Why do people blog? - as a project for one of my Information Science classes. I first posed the question in a class discussion with great derision. I felt that "spewing your guts" all over the internet and sharing them with the world was "stupid and needy." My professor convinced me to use the question as my research topic. He also sent me the link to Dr. Wesch's Web 2.0 video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE I was captivated by Wesch's portrayal of the "big picture" and the feeling of interconnectedness it gave me. Inspired, I began searching through all of his videos and those of his Digital Ethnography students. I began branching out by watching not only the students' videos - but also the videos in their playlists and favorites. If I drew a map of all the videos I watched - starting with Dr. Wesch's in the center - it would look a great deal like a family tree. (This "tree effect" fascinates me and I could go on forever on that tangent, so I'll force myself to stop there.) Over time my question evolved to - How is blogging changing the world? - and then finally - How is vlogging changing US? After watching hundreds of videos I finally decided - (duh! forehead slap) - to create my own account. The humanity and connection I witnessed in my many hours of viewing transformed me from cynical skeptic to converted vlogger. I created this video as my final report and played it for my class during our project presentations. I wanted to take them on my journey of discovery. I wanted to show what I had learned and try to answer some of the questions I journaled along the way. Most of all I wanted to create something that would portray my own "RETHINKING" and a few of the ways in which we all might be RETHINKING US. Thank you, Dr. Wesch and DE students.
