Critical Photo-Essay
This week's readings and particularly Ken Robinson's Ted Talk got me thinking about the future of education in America and changes that need to be made to engage the next generation of students. I have two children so this issue is particularly important to me as my boys navigate the public education system over the next dozen years. In my opinion, the system is broken and we need new pedagogies to inform our communication of knowledge sharing and instruction. Rather than focusing on how broken the system has become, I would like to focus on innovative techniques, inspirational stories, and/or current research investigating the benefits (or purported failings) of whatever new methods or theories that are out there to inform the future of education. So I think my thesis becomes, "How does digital rhetoric inform our teaching pedagogies across curriculums to engage the next generation of students?".

I wish you show your project to certain marketing classmates. One was really bad in stating, "Well things in cutting age research really don't lead to anything that would benefit a company or the public in general. I don't think trying to develop a product from leading edge research is a very smart move." I couldn't answer. I'm just glad there is anesthesia.
