Watched it all. I love the tracking of phenomena, and the interpretation, too. Now I'm thinking about teaching through the lens of the participant observer...using 2.0 tools ourselves has us learning and creating WITH our students, and that changes our relationship with them. Very cool. What I like the most is the part around mediascape (11:40 - 12:17) : "At the center of the mediascape is us. Media is not content, or the tools of communication. I think of the media mediating human relations. When media change, human relationships change." I agree it's mind-blowing. Thanks for pointing to this, Cory. Watched it all.
