It's hard for me to believe that I've already managed to make another video! It just goes to show that with a little hard work, some long hours in the media center (when it's open O_o), and a lot of support from my fellow Diggies, even tech novices can do some cool stuff =)
Anyway, this is the second video I've created for Dr. Wesch's Digital Ethnography course at Kansas State University. Going in a different direction than I originally planned, I found my inspiration for the concept of this video after experiencing an especially heavy bout of academic apathy and overall laziness, and then reacting back against that. Admittedly some viewers might find the message of this video a bit reactionary or old-fashioned. Consider it a (hopefully) reasonable critique of the recent push toward educational reform, an "antithesis" to the thesis of the overwhelming majority of ideas being compiled by all the other incredible VOST2011 contributors. (Speaking of which, look for the clip from liman1989's video "affect my learning"--I hope she will pardon my critique.) You may not agree (I'm not entirely sure about my own agreement yet), but hopefully it will bring forth a strong ideological synthesis =)
