Michael Wesch's video "A Vision of Students Today"
Michael Wesch is an Anthropology professor at Kansas State University who, along with his students, constucted a video called "A Vision of Students Today." The video shows the many different problems with students and the way they learn and gain their knowledge in today's world. Wesch and his students believe that technology is saving us and our future children who are learning in classrooms and the difficult issues that involve sociaties around the world that are affecting different nations like; war, dissease, poverty, hunger, ethnic conflict. Many people assume that learning in college universities from teachers and professors are helping our student learn life issues, but from this video they say that "only 26% of their learning is relevant to their life." meaning that students are not paying attention in their classrooms they are getting most of their information from technology like television, internet, and chating cites like facebook. They are basically wasting there time and money in class and doing self learning which is getting them to multi-task where Wesch video says that students spend 26.5 hours a day doing thing.
