Unleashing the tribe - Ewan McIntosh

I’ve been meaning to post on this presentation Ewan McIntosh gave recently at the Tipperary Institute’s Education futures event, and now have time.

It’s an exposition of the power of social networking and how pervasive it is for many 21st century students. Given the audience, the time available to him, and the message he wanted to get across, it says a lot about what people are doing on Facebook and the like, but it’s a little light on the pedagogical relevance (he does more of that here). It’s worth a look and listen, though, and the challenge Ewan has for us to learn why students want ‘go to these places’ is an important one.
