I wrote yesterday about bookmarking items and not getting back to them for a while. It's like finding buried treasure! Well, I "found" another treasure, a youtube video, while looking for something to add to the same presentation that I was working on yesterday. I do remember watching it all the way through probably right after it was published. In the presentation, I was justifying using video in the module that I am presenting on by explaining the nature of students today. I could've listed all of the attributes of in a bullet list, but why be boring?
The video is a little old (Oct 2007), but it does such a cool job of explaining it that I still think that there is a benefit to sharing it. I'll be using part of the Digital Ethnography project's A Vision of Students Today video by Michael Wesch at Kansas State University. If you haven't seen it, I think it's worth 5 minutes to watch and so did 3,064,870 other folks as of this morning at 11:15 am. What I found even more interesting was another video that I think is just a relevant because it takes a step back and talks about similar topics as they relate to K-12 education and what we are preparing out kids to do in the future. A Vision of K-12 Students Today was published in November of 2007.
What I found even more interesting was a related video that I think is just a relevant because it takes a step back and talks about similar topics as they relate to kids in the K-12 education system. The video questions what we are preparing our kids to do in the future, how they stack up against the rest of the world, how they spend their time in and out of school, and what they want out of education. A Vision of K-12 Students Today was published in November of 2007 by B. Nesbitt. I think this is more relevant that the one for college students because as a university we can plan and prepare for the arrival of the K-12 students. The children in the video asks us to teach them to think and to engage them. We can do that or in the very least start to design instruction based on that so when they get to college they are engaging them in meaningful and powerful ways.
