For those who requested it, here is the information and links to the talk I recently gave to the Texas Community College Teacher’s Association.
Approaching Digital Literacy: Creating a Networked Culture on Campus (Texas Community College Teachers Association 2008). (You can download the high quality Quicktime Movie or the lower quality mp4 .) Below are the references for this presentation:
Mark Pesce on Hyperconnectivity: A lot of my thinking on what happens when we increase the speed at which people are connected comes from Pesce, particularly this presentation.
Clay Shirky Here Comes Everybody : This is one of the best books on how organizing changes in the age of the network. Shirky’s book is both informed and accessible. He also did an interview for weblogg-ed which focuses on education.

Saturday Humor: Fearing TechnologyFrom: academhack.outsidethetext.com
