David Foster Wallace’s Timeless Graduation Speech on the Meaning of Life, Adapted in a Short Film

David Foster Wallace’s Timeless Graduation Speech on the Meaning of Life, Adapted in a Short Film | My Interesting Stuff | Scoop.it

"On May 21, 2005, David Foster Wallace got up before the graduating class of Kenyon college and delivered one of history’s most memorable commencement addresses. It wasn’t until Wallace’s death in 2008 that the speech took on a life of its own under the title This Is Water, and was even adapted into a short book. Now, the fine folks of The Glossary have remixed an abridged version of Wallace’s original audio with a sequence of aptly chosen images to give one pause:"

 

Wallace: “The real value of a real education … has almost nothing to do with knowledge and everything to do with simple awareness.”

NFAIS | Trends in Higher Education: Content, Services and Business Models, April 26, 2013 | My Interesting Stuff | Scoop.it

"This workshop will provide an overview of the current educational trends sweeping college and university campuses.  It will take a look at a case study on the adoption of MOOCs at a major university, new forms of content such as open textbooks and e-textbook adoption, and how traditional publishers are packaging their content for today’s new “classrooms.” The workshop will take a look at the results of a recent study on the return on library investment in content.  The meeting will close with a look at the future of higher education and how that future is driving the acquisition and divestiture of content across the publishing community."

"Want to make video games? Awesome! First, just learn to code and then get ready for a lot of hard work. Or maybe not. Pixel Press wants to let anyone of any age create their own video game levels with just a pencil, graph paper, and an iPad or iPhone... 'Pixel Press' is a game where players create their own levels using pencil and graph paper, without knowing how to code."
