Our Class On How We Run Our Class
Michael Wesch,
Digital Ethnography,
Apr 24, 2009
OK, I'm not going to criticize the work Michael Wesch does (because I quite like the student-directedness of it), but seeing this picture of this class evokes in me the same sort of feeling I got at SXSW (and this pic, too, a bit) - a websphere of bastion of right and privilege. There are several ways to do web 2.0 education - one way is to use web 2.0 applications in your already advantaged environment, the other way is to use web 2.0 to open up the world of learning to those without the background, time or dollars to attend a digital ethnography class. My challenge to Wesch's class is, therefore, to open up, and let the world in. Study - and involve - something a bit more diverse than yourselves.
