Michael Wesch and his students created this video in an Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Class at Kansas State University in Spring 2007.

I like it for two reasons. First it expresses some of my frustrationswith education and secondly, it is a good example of how we can utilize video projects in our classess.

Hello Thomas,I ran across the follow-up blog posting by Michael Wesch in which he further considers his reactions to the video created by his students. http://www.britannica.com/blogs/2008/10/a-vision-of-students-today-what-teachers-must-do/Glenn
Thanks Glenn. It is a good article. I hate to be a pessimist but I don't know if things will ever change significantly enough to impact learning. Disengagement seems to be pretty widespread.
