I finally watched this and I do have to say it is very impressive. Many interesting thoughts about taking your classroom further. I can attest that I absolutely HATED Intro to Cultural Anthropology when I was at KSU, but with this guy I think I really would have liked the course. The case he makes at the beginning about “info not being scarce it is flying in the air all around us”, and his other points at the beginning sure makes you wonder.
The project he made in the class is HUGE and very complex, but it is interesting about his whole classroom has been transformed.
Here is another video that this same professor made that also is pretty thought provoking. http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ff04fe8c0ebf78bc90d6

Here is another video from Dr. Wesch… a presentation he did for the Library of Congress. Very interesting to say the least.
