Welcome to Edutechie.com! If you're new here, be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I came across this video thanks to Jeremy Hunsinger from Virgina Tech who posted it on Educause Connect. You have to watch it! It comes originally from Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University.
Last week I posted an article in which I struggled to define my place with instructional technology and ultimately decided to focus on the power of the web. This video cements my resolve to further investigate the power of the web, as well raises some great questions about how it really will change everything.
He thoughtfully ends his short video by saying we need to rethink the following things:
- copyright
- authorship
- identity
- ethics
- aesthetics
- rhetorics
- governance
- privacy
- commerce
- love
- family
- ourselves
If this list doesn’t show how the web will change EVERYTHING, I don’t know what will.
