How we dream

This video discusses all the ways that researching and writing have evolved with time and technology. Hours spent in the libraries searching for books, taking down notes, and making copies of information found is something that rarely happens anymore. Now you see students on the web looking up videos and blogs for information and not just have their heads buried in books. Webpages now have videos and sound on them which makes it more of a learning experience than just to research. I think that all the classrooms should keep sending their children to the library because books are full of knowledge but they should encourage their children to research on the web too and combine both experiences to create the best learning atmosphere possible.

  1. Take a look at the numbers for EDM 310:
    Most of you never read a newspaper, or do so only occasionally (59%). Only 10% of you read a newspaper every day.
    Searching for information for classes? - 90% say Google main way.
    29% have never gone to the University Library to use the library.
    79% have not gone to the library this semester (after week 8) to use the library.

    What is your reaction as a book lover/reader? What do you think your students will expect?
