Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

I understand the point they were connecting to with technology and school learning. This video was cool too me and fascinating it was like one of them truth videos about smoking. In my opinion the point was that children seem to learn more with new modern stuff that seem interesting. For example it my not be many teenagers or young people who will buy a newspaper, but they will rather read about online or through their email. It's also telling kids to be more serious in school, if you gone be deck and you are not coming to class you're not doing but wasting your time and others.
I would of added to the video an example of how kids can be taught with the modern technology using facebook, emails and others. I also, would push the high cost of the books and barely ever used them in the semester. Other than that this video touch a lot of key spots and was very clear. Because how you know what the class learn, when the wall can't talk only the class can tell you. That's being a teacher you have to be open minded to be able to connect with kids to get their mind thinking, so putting modern technology with learning is such an good idea..
