Social Networking applications like Twitter are bringing to us a new form of "REAL TIME" communication.
This is exactly what I am experiencing with my Students in the Video blogging class going on right now: Real Time communication between each other, still sometimes in the class room but now also in "virtual space" anytime... Virtual space is Timeless! How are we going to teach within these new parameters? Let's try first and we will learn along the way.

SGLL projectX is a game being developed between the DIT School of Computing, Learning Technology Team and School of Languages for the Modern Languages in Primary Schools Initiative. The game is to be used to supplement class-work and consolidate what has already been learned-including reading, aural comprehension and written responses. The approach used in this project is to use a series of mini-games linked by a common theme. Each mini-game maps to the curriculum. Languages being used are: Italian, Spanish, German and French.

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”
