 I was inspired by his talk this morning. Students plaster themselves all over the web, this idea that people are creating identity and seeking recognition is a powerful one. Children are all over the web, all of the time. To try to fight this, as some adults do, isn't going to end in success...for anyone. Wesch commented that just because a person cannot "opt out" of change. If you just decide that you don't want to learn to read, doesn't change the fact that some, if not most other people are. Whether you want it to or not, the face of society will change. We need to embrace it and use for positive changes in society and growth in students.
