Yesterday my students gave excellent presentations about what they learned in my digital media theory course. I was pleased to see a number of cats and toilets and cute animal photos made it in, as did video games, visual effects, Baudrillard, memes, Wikileaks, hypertext, music, surveillance, frightening surveillance-based pranks, Cleverbot, DJ-ing, remixing, a stop-motion minifig action movie, some performance art (with candle!), virtual identities, and even in-class freestyle hip-hop about new media!
Mostly I was happy to see that they appear to really be thinking about these things, which means I did something right. See, theory is your friend after all!
One student who couldn't make it to the Faire (yes I put an "E" in there), sent me this awesome LOLcatBORG. I love it.
