This assignment was based on watching the videos from Richard Miller titled "This is How We Dream." His goal in this was to help people produce multimedia and not just consume it. The videos showed how we communicate globally. It showed how the reading and writing culture has changed to a listening/watching culture. He described writing with researching without using a library. By doing this, knowledge is shared in an infident way throughout our world. The documents are free and easy to use. The documents consisted of information collected in a collaborate way and composed by using images and films. They contained visuals and sound using material taken straight from the web. In this dream, you are basically collecting experiences and weaving them into documents.
Part two of the video described how we are now in a culture that works in a digital environment The network material is forever changing all of the time. Mr. Miller states that the web ideas belong to us a culture and not as individuals. He believes that we should look at network material, use it, produce it, and distribute it globally and freely. He states that there are no limits and restrictions to doing this except for those we place on ourselves. He has a goal of teaching students to compose digitally not by using word processors. He aim is to teach them to present global issues and ideas creatively by using the web. While I think all of this wonderful ideas, I feel that we cannot loose sight of teaching our students to read and write; not just research and piece together information out there to create a publication.
