The librarian edge: Michael Wesch, Media Literacy, and Classroom Portals

The librarian edge: Michael Wesch, Media Literacy, and Classroom Portals:

Katie Day wrote on her blog:

"Michael Wesch is a professor of digital ethnography who has learned both from his students and with his students. His videos -- A Vision of Students Today, The Machine is Us/ing Us, and Information R/evolution -- are well known.

... his latest presentations are:
'An anthropological introduction to YouTube' given at the Library of Congress, June 23, 2008.

'A Portal to Media Literacy' or 'Michael Wesch on the Future of Education', was presented at the University of Manitoba on June 17, 2008. This is the one I recommend for teachers, as it was aimed at educators."

While you use Katie's post as a launch pad to the Wesch videos, read her other valuable posts for educators.
