The door opens to the echo of an empty room. Fading in Marshell McLuhan comments “Todays child is bewildered when he (the child) enters the 19th century environment that still characterize to educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented classified patterns, subject and schedule”. Wesch brings to our attention by using students to convey a message the need for change. Wesch students use word presentation to reflex a quorum of their daily life and stagnation they deal with. Throughout the video viewer learned the quorum’s observation of how learning is taking place. The video constructs ways that learning would benefit student’s addition in teaching. The students provide ammunition a plea “will the collective just see what I do daily”. Why is what I know given no accreditation? Adding technology relevant to students learning, incorporating today’s youth communication network giving students a voice. Students could relate, relax, participate placing a personal stamp in student development.
Wesch frustration in teaching restriction plays out with students showing viewer pertinent message tagging “What are they learning sitting here” “18% of my teachers know my name” “I paid for a text book I didn’t even open”. Wesch see the need to bring relevant to teaching adding today’s open communication forum. Using life experiences to enhance student’s education, advancing the educational establish farsightedness and acknowledging the need to remodel the ordered structure.
