So I was doing the reading and searching for tonight's class, and I was directed to
Good Magazine. What a coincidence because my college roommate directs/edits videos for them, and the videos are super interesting. I recommend checking them out. He has a video on education, which discusses the connection between the US educational system with other countries, which seems similar to some of the topics we've discussed in class (i.e. 200 million minutes). He also has informative videos that deal with the environment, philanthropy, politics, and porn. Yep, I knew I'd get your attention with that.
But actually, his videos tie in nicely with our final project. He takes a unique approach to mainstream topics and makes them digestible for today's mentality. Instead of reading a short article about Obama, you could watch a 2 minute clip and it would be equally informative. It just highlights the new literacy that John Seely Brown explores in some of his writings.
If you have time check them out; below is the link to his most recent video (his name is Max Joseph by the way):
