You're invited to comment to this project.



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.

Dear All,
I would like to share the fruits of a great project me and my 4th year students have been working on. It’s a video called A Vision of Students in Italy a Today “Our Thoughts.” It's a video my students have made about the use of technology in class and whether they like it or not.

The video was entirely produced by my students (with the exception of the video editing. ) It is going to be posted to You Tube as a reply to Prof. Mike Wesch's video "A Vision Of Students Today." ( http://tinyurl.com/bdbfx6) Prof. Wesch’s video discusses the old-fashioned methods many teachers still use in class. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really should. As fellow Webheads you’re bound to like it.

Everything you see in this video was written, organised, filmed and publicised (at our school) by the students of our class. This includes the writing of questions, posting them to an online survey host and then turning all the data into the script for the second part of our video. The whole school was then invited to reply to our survey, which asked what our schoolmates attitudes are to the Italian education system. Seeing as we’re a social sciences school this is a useful skill for my students to have.

Hi there!

Thank for sharing our project! It's great to see that so many of you from so many different countries are interested in what we're doing.

However.. did you know that the video above is not our video, but the original :) That's the one that we were replying to!

If you can, it would be really lovely of you to share our video too. It's the one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO3d4HcSP3Q
