Let's make things share-able
The internet is like a playground ... if we don't play with all of these new applications created online, we will miss the essential: better communication.
Better education for our students.

Wired Campus: Anthropology Professor, Now a YouTube Star, Says Web Video Can Help People Craft Their Identities
An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube by Michael Wesch and the Digital Ethnography Working Group. Presentation at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation.
The Anonymity Project
After the 94 articles activity I reported about here 2 weeks ago, my research team (”students”) began crafting their research proposals. These were then aggregated into one collaborative proposal showing how each project is related to the others. In the meantime, they have also been learning the language of video; gathering clips, pictures, and techniques for demonstrating their proposals in compelling ways. Most of them had never edited video before, and yet here we are just 4 weeks into the semester and they have already mastered the basics and created some interesting work. The video below is simply some of the best of their 16 “trailers” mashed together to give you a glimpse into the project we hope to create throughout the rest of this semester. We call the project: “The Fight for Significance in the Age of the Microcelebrity: Anonymity, Anonymous, Smart Mobs, Mad Mobs, Bot Mobs and the Great American Poets”

How Do You Find Your Passion and How Do You Pursue It?
Instead of thinking about the passion, expalins Komisar, free yourself to think of a portfolio of passions. Marry this portfolio with the opportunities in front of you, he says. Think of it as a quest towards which you are moving in the right direction, he adds.
