Get With It, Education

I feel passionate about what happens in the classrooms of today. In many of them (especially at the university level), the environment is still in the 19th century: the professor lectures, student crams for the final, student forgets within a month everything from the class.

I recently saw this little video. It’s rather powerful. It was created by Michael Wesch and 200 of his students at Kansas State University. I wonder how many university professors have seen it . . . I wonder if they changed anything they did because they watched it . . . Probably not . . .
