College Students Today: Lifestyle Study
Hey Everyone,
I’m sure that many of you have heard of Mike Wesch, he is a teacher at my alma mater, Kansas State University. He teaches a class called Digital Ethnography. It has turned out some really exciting stuff. His video on Digital Test: The Machine is Us/ing Us is amazing and I use it all the time to illustrate changes in communications.
I recently was forwarded his video on the changes in lifestyle habits of college kids. It is really cool. I wanted to share it with everyone. It is called A Vision of Students Today.
Check out his progress on research here.
Great Work Mr. Wesch. I am so happy to see at least one example of our education system tackling this important issue. I work with it everyday and was never taught much about it.
Great work,
Will Flavell
Hey everybody,
Wanted to updated with this message I just got from CSRWire:
Dear Bill,
Thank you for being a member of CSRwire and for being a part of a global mission to promote corporate responsibility and sustainability through positive examples of your business practices.
As part of our continued effort to move beyond the traditional newswire and take full advantage of the most up-to-date technology, we would like to introduce you to our newest service: the Enhanced Member Profile (EMP).
As more of our members started producing video and audio, they began requesting a way to organize and showcase their initiatives to the CSR community. In response, we created the EMP: a custom-built multimedia website for our members to showcase their CSR initiatives on CSRwire.com. This allows our members to benefit from our position as the primary destination for Corporate Social Responsibility news and sustainability information.
The EMP can include videos, podcasts, presentations, press releases, event and report announcements, research, career opportunities, and other news. Through the most advanced technology and search engine optimization, content is easily managed, updated and optimized.
As part of your overall CSR strategy, the EMP further develops increased transparency and disclosure, manages potential risks, increases shareholder value, and attracts talent and capital. They are the first-stop for the CSR community to compare and contrast initiatives, categories, business sectors, and areas of NGO activities.
Visitors to the EMP will have the ability to add comments, forward content using ‘send to friend’, and social bookmarking tools, bringing Web 2.0 functionality to the profile, and deepening interaction among stakeholders and the organization.
Here are some of our newest EMPs:
