			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another thought-provoking video from Michael Wesch, assistant professor of cultural anthropology at Kansas State University and creator of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g">&#8220;The Machine is Us/ing Us&#8221;</a>.</p>
<p>Not only does this include an example of Google Docs in use, but more importantly, it is a view of students through their own (honest) eyes.  The focus is on undergrads at a university, but high school students (and others?) are not far off of this vision.</p>
<p><code><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dGCJ46vyR9o"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dGCJ46vyR9o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></code></p>
<p>What are the implications for us as teachers?  How does this vision of students demand that we teach differently?  How DO we engage a generation that edits their Facebook profile during lecture hall?  (Sadly, some will likely offer this as further proof of why we should <em>not</em> have 1:1 laptop programs and why we should ban all digital gadgets from the classroom&#8230;and why?  So they can focus better on the blackboard, of course.)</p>
<p>And we would be missing the point.</p>
