Mostly for Joe's benefit, here are the links to the YouTube videos of Michael Wesch from Kansas State:
The Machine is Us/ing Us -- The original video that went viral; great little introduction to what constitutes Web 2.0 and why it's so exciting/creepy at the same time
A Vision of Students Today -- Short video full of interesting stats; note that it's the product of a collaborative class project. And most of my professors haven't ever opened a Google document. Shameful!
An anthropological introduction to YouTube -- I haven't watched all of this; just the first 25 minutes or so. Wesch at the Library of Congress -- good for him! Fascinating information, and again he is mesmerizing in his delivery.
Forget powerpoint. This guy really raises the bar -- he's very skilled working with video editing software. And picking out tunes from the creative commons.
