In watching the video of Michael Wesch’s (and his students’ at KSU) video “A Vision of Students Today.” I found I was mixed about it. Not quiet sure of the message i was getting from it. As I watched it a couple more times I got a couple more messages, that are scattered as the video. One thing that stuck out to me we the messages "I will read 8 books this year 2300 web pages and1281 facebook profiles" and "I will write 42 pages for class this semester and over 500 pages of email." I am thinking that maybe technology in the classrooms are a good thing but technology for the class rooms are not so great. As a college student each one of us is pushed to the limit as the school says challenge your self, most are hanging on by the thread. For those of us that are hanging on by a thread, How much of it is self inflicted. By self inflicted I mean staying on track and not Multi tasking to thing that are not necessary to school or life but then they are things that make us happy, such as Facebook and blogs. I am hoping to see more technology in the classrooms, but at the same time I hope that there can be a great balance of technology in the classroom as well as personal interaction.

  1. I absolutely agree with you I like towards the end how you tell that your hoping to see more technology but at the same time hope we can find a balance between both classroom and personal interaction. I feel the same way.
