The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)

I just had to share this really interesting video from Professor Michael L. Wesch from Kansas State University. He is profiled in a Chronicle of Higher Education article about a cultural anthropology course where students are doing an ethnography of You Tube. Really great article, but what is interesting is the very thoughtful way Professor Wesch is using You Tube as a teaching and learning tool. Check out the video interview from the Chronicle article. The video linked here reflects on what has become to be known as Web 2.0. Using this video format, he raises all kinds of great questions about how we use technology, what relationship we have to that technology and the ways in which it can serve as a means for connection (or disconnection). I just though the video was so interesting, I wanted to share it.

I just may experiment with video blogging in the next version of HCOM 310!
