The Threat of Zombie Education

Introduction to Blog #3 and the Zombie Education

    A vital part of teaching is to understand the information we search and use for various purposes. That blogged, education begins with online readings, at the very least, as not to keep local education at the state of stagnant innovation, or in what I refer to, more or less, as The Zombie Education.


    In a nutshell, the Zombie Education Theory posits that if students don't take advantages of Qwiki or similar digital tools or platforms, as well as, working beyond it, then, it is doomed to be in a Zombie State. Zombie Education Theory entails the following components,classroom innovation by practice innovation, redesinging the value chain of education ,while mitigating the risks of Zombie bureacracy.

          It is an integral part of life to understand the media that we consume on a daily basis. One way of understanding media is by making sense of its messages. The voice of the media, or the messages, rather, is pervasive throughout: from a zingy status update on Facebook to a prime time TV show such as Dancing with the Stars, to government official-sponsored advertisements. All are available in print and online, whereby in the latter case, most of it is conveniently composed of the 'do it yourself' uploads, as user-generated content are seamlessly floating on the likes of YouTube, Animoto, and MySpace to enhance both video-sharing and enlightening the audience with the partaking of a holistic experience. Online social media has culminated vastly with web-technology to further the empowerment through that message as one can shape, shake and move the outlooks starting with one individual and transforming all connected communities. We see it happening this very moment, while the tools are paramount for delivering that strong message to communicate a successful beginning of a global university network.
