Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

a picture of a computer and cell phones
The website http://is.gd/2c0V0 was very interesting. I found everything the students were writing to be true for most students (younger generations) in school. Students really do spend most of their time on the internet. Students are addicted to facebook and myspace and websites like that. So therefore they dont spend as much time studying books or reading, they rather just look information up on the internet. Technology is used a lot more now and it controls some people to much, to the point were people can't learn with out it. I think it is kind of sad. But it is definitly true that students bring different types of technology to school and play with it rather listen to the teacher lecture.
I don't think anything needs to be added to this video. Everything the students write are very accurate to students these days. But I think the students should be out in his/her field more and experiencing the future career instead of sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher. I think a lot of classes students have to take are a waste of money and the subject area of some classes are not even needed for his/her career. So what's the point in taking the class? Money, Money , Money!!!

  1. Heather good job on the post. Please make your graphics ADA accessible. Remember TITLE = "Graphic retrieved from....". Also, careful with the colored text. The red is not a good color for post. When I look at the screen, I see double with the red text. Extremely difficult for older eyes to read ;)
