Video: A Vision of Students Today
By Richard Nantel | February 19, 2008
My last post described an excellent panel discussion that ended last week’s O’Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing Conference in New York city. The facilitator, Stephen Abrams, asked seven teenage girls and one 22 year-old young man questions about their lives.
Mr. Abrams ended the session by showing a short film by a sociologist named Michael Wesch. Mr. Wesch is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. The video describes creatively the lives of students today. Enjoy.
