This podcast summarizes "Writing is a Technology that Restructures Thought" and "Media Convergence: Creating Content, Questioning Relationships." It describes how writing was once an unaccepted technology that people feared, yet it is now accepted. Similarly, computers are currently feared. However, since students are already immersed in the different forms of media, teachers should embrace it and teach how to effectively use it. Also, this podcast questions the balance between the good that technology brings versus what society loses with these advancements.

Embrace your inner writing technology
Hmm, interesting question: How to find the most valuable writing, in a world where everyone can be a writer? This sounds like a job for... Rheingold's Reputation Filters! (Caveat: then again, it seems like he thought they were the solution to everything; the scary thing is, he might be right).
Nice job!
