A fantastic session from Classroom 2.0 on May 26th discussed "The Future of Education" and featured a talk with Michael Wesch of Kansas State University. Dr. Wesch is an intriguing figure- awarded the 2008 CASE/Carnegie US Professor of the year for Doctoral and Research studies and hailed as "the explainer" by Wired Magazine, his compelling research took him from exploring Papua New Guinea to studying of the impact of social media and emerging technologies on global culture.
His much-watched YouTube videos, many developed alongside students in his undergraduate courses, are thought-provoking yet approachable explorations of key issues surrounding Web 2.0 and are worth checking out.
