Lessons we can learn from these new experiences?
New forms of community: New ways of connecting with
people, linking people in ways we’ve never been linked
before.
New forms of expression (user-generated content):
people are producing in ways never able to before
(books, videos, remixes, mash-ups).
New forms of working together: People are sharing,
trading, collaborating in ways never possible before.

The need for EE is greater now more than ever
Michael Wesch, Kansas State
University:
Media is not content or tools of
communication, media mediate human
relationship. When media change,
human relations change.
Lessons from new media help us
advocate for the value of learning from
our experiences to expand experiential
education programs, in terms of:
• Tools available
