Writings and lectures

• Mike Wesch (2008) - A Portal to Media Literacy (video)
  "It's basically an ongoing experiment to create a portal for me and my students to work online. We tried every social media application you can think of. Some worked, some didn't."
• Mike Wesch (2008) - An anthropological introduction to YouTube (video)
• Mike Wesch (2007) - A Vision of Students Today (video)
  A short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime.
• Jacques Ranciere (1991) - The Ignorant Schoolmaster: Five Lessons in Intellectual Emancipation (essay)
• David Cormier (2008) - Rhizomatic Education: Community as Curriculum (essay), [1] (response)
  Following earlier attempts to theorize peer to peer learning through connectivism (by George Siemens), which Cormier finds inadequate, the author introduces a new approach: Rhizomatic Education. "If the world of media education is thought of as a rhizome, as a library à la Eco [in The Name of the Rose], then we need to construct our own connections through this space in order to appropriate it. However, instead of that solitary groping made by Brother William, we see as our goal the co-construction of those secret connections as a collaborative effort."
• David Gauntlett (2007) - Media Studies 2.0 (essay)
