Most Popular Wired Campus TV Installments
This year we kicked off Wired Campus TV, our tech-video series. We used the same free or low-cost video tools that some professors are trying in their courses to produce these short Web features. Luckily, I even had a camera along when I ran into Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder, as he zipped around a conference on a Segway (and agreed to stop and talk about the early days of educational computing). Below are the five most viewed videos:
1. YouTube vs. Your Good Name — A college can spend millions of dollars a year polishing its image, but one well-placed viral video can undo all that effort.
2. Teaching With Twitter — David Parry, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, talks about using Twitter, a new messaging service, for his courses.
3. Professors as YouTube Stars — College professors are becoming the latest Internet celebrities, as college start to upload recordings of lectures to YouTube, the popular video-sharing site.
4. Save Energy or the Bear Gets It — An animated polar bear reacts to the level of power use in a dorm at Dartmouth College — and when too many students turn their TV’s on or leave their lights on, the ice cracks and the bear falls through.
5. Steve Wozniak Talks Apple History — Steve Wozniak helped kick off the personal-computer revolution decades ago when he and Steve Jobs started Apple Computer in a garage in Silicon Valley, and he says education was one of the key uses he saw for computers from the beginning.
Stay tuned for more videos next year. —Jeffrey R. Young
