Michael Wesch has done it again. For those who enjoyed his “The Machine Is Us/ing Us” video all about Web2.0, this recent one about the Information R/evolution is equally as challenging.
This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. It has been created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.
A useful resource to have on hand when considering the idea of “literacies”, and the rationale for changes in the new curriculum released in NZ yesterday!
Thanks Derek. A tremendous plug for David Weinberger’s recently published “Everything is Miscellaneous” and another great staffroom professional learning group discussion starter. Especially if the librarian’s invited.
