An anthropological introduction to YouTube

Anthropological view of You Tube

De meeste mensen zullen Wesch nog kennen van video's als a A vision of students today, The Machine is Us/ing Us en Information R/Evolution: drie prachtige -en korte- video's die je beslist gezien moet hebben als je geïnteresseerd bent in webcultuur.

Voeg aan dat lijstje nog maar een video toe. Wesch gaf vorige maand een presentatie in the Library of Congress onder de titel An anthropological introduction to YouTube.

Michael Wesch rocks. watch it!

He decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation.

[...Thanks to Jo Mcleay for the link to this amazing video. The links between the web, the audience,the choices we have and change just pop out of this and Michael Wesch's understated presentation of this are so riveting. A longer one but well worth the watch.]

[...Michael Wesch's presentation (at the Library of Congress as part of a series on 'Digital Natives') should be viewed by teachers trying to understand the YouTube phenomenon. The musings on 'why' are particularly interesting. As a footnote, I follow the presenter on Twitter and was alerted to his upload minutes after he loaded it. more about "An anthropological introduction to Yo...", posted with vodpod    ]
