a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today – how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

This video as brilliant! Simple, capitavating and very clear on what the msg is! I am a student myself – in Norway – and this perfectly fits the impression I have of the student here aswell:)

@denisrenelara
Still though, perhaps you should work on your own grammar before correcting others’, hm?

Makes you really think about the future of education

@karllieb It is a broad problem. I think the society we have today in the USA is very close to being broken. I don’t like to blame the older generation for this, but likewise, you can’t blame the younger generation. Kids are products of society, and it is inaccurate to suggest that kids are at fault for being the way they are.

@thepliosar1 So who was worse Dr. Frankenstein…or his monster? You paint with a very broad brush. The culture of today’s youth is also a direct result of technology, consumer culture, mass media, broken families and the individual will of those that make choices within it.,etc. As an individual I certainly didn’t do much to create this “world.” Please enlighten me then. Where does the problem lie?

@karllieb Do you not see that the progeny of the older generation is a direct result of the older generations? We grew up in the world you created, bub.
December 3, 2011 at 2:01 pm
@Barta622 true …the means of relaying information can be changed ie going to powerpoint instead of a chalkboard. But, the crucial difference to me is that youth do not do much with all this technology except socialize and entertain themselves.
December 3, 2011 at 2:07 pm
@thepliosar1 yes and the biggest disaster the older generation can look at is their own progeny.
December 3, 2011 at 2:10 pm
And the point is….? young people spend more time socializing than working, are basically unmotivated and effete.

Student should value their teachers, because teachers help us to become better.
December 3, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Great video. Really like that Marshall McLuhan quote, too.
December 3, 2011 at 3:41 pm
People become teachers to help people. When you help someone learn you help them grow.
December 3, 2011 at 3:56 pm

there was a person maybe someone knows who said this. “Everyday I read and learn and change my mind about things.” We need to learn to come up with new ideas and see the world in a different way

As a student we learn from our teachers. As a teacher we learn from our students.
