"A vision of students today"

This video, “A vision of students today” made by anthropology professor at Kansas State University Michael Wesch, along with his students; give a perspective of how students today relate school and technology, and how our education is being distracted by new media entertainment. In silence throughout the film students with written notes explain how their focus is paid more to online social media than to school, some of them explaining they will write 42 pages for class this semester and over 500 pages of e-mail, or they will read 8 books throughout the year, but over 2,300 web pages and 1,281 Facebook profiles.  Technology has evolved our era, but these persons our also showing us its side effects, in this case how it’s affecting students today. One of them, shows us his inappropriate use of online media in a classroom when he says he brings his laptop to school, but doesn’t use it to work on class stuff. Students nowadays need to rethink the purpose of using technology, and how to relate it to school in a positive way. This video gives an idea of how schools function today, and the way technology is affecting our education system. Demonstrating much learning nowadays is being done online, possibly explaining old school teaching methods will not work anymore and that there is something important to be done over this and change it.
