The above video is long but well worth the watch.  I recommend taking it in small chunks because it is full of very interesting information.  My husband described it as running through an art museum trying to see everything.

What does a video by an anthropologist about media literacy have to do with unschooling?

Mike Wesch is a college professor trying to adapt college education to our new media and talks about how the changes in media have changed the way students learn to a group of college professors (a lot of whom have little experience with modern media.)  The first half is very pertinent to where we are as unschooling parents.  The latter part is an interesting experiment but less relavent.

In this video he very clearly outlines the traditional expectations of  education and systematically proves that, in our modern age, each of these suppositions in false.
