Michael Wesch has an essay on Academic Commons examining the effects of what he calls the social revolution of Web 2.0 on teaching and how to restructure the college classroom to respond effectively. He criticizes the model of the professor as the source of knowledge and education as the pursuit of knowledge. Instead, he champions a greater focus on analysis and discussion. I am skeptical regarding the novelty of his ideas - has the changing internet really led to revolutionary calls to end "regurgitative" education?
