DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
There is something in the air, and it is nothing less than the digital artifacts of over one billion people and computers
networked together collectively producing over 2,000 gigabytes of new information per second. While most of our classrooms
were built under the assumption that information is scarce and hard to find, nearly the entire body of human knowledge now
flows through and around these rooms in one form or another, ready to be accessed by laptops, cellphones, and iPods.
