Blog #4 Wesch and Turkle

I have thought of the different dichotomies and connections between Wesch and Turkle, but I think my review on them is how they are advocating on the same team.  Sure, they have different positions, but their end goal is the same.  I would like to look at the final lines they left us with:
 
"My job becomes less about teaching, and more about encouraging students to join me on the quest." - Wesch
"So I say, look up, look at one another, and let’s start the conversation." - Turkle

Both are advocating for conversations to happen in the classroom, and outside the classroom.  I am so enthralled with how they are united, that I am forgetting why I ever thought they were polar opposites.  I guess I could see how Turkle is committed to the idea of taking away technology for students to understand the art of having a conversation.  While Wesch is trying to balance the idea of having 500 students in a classroom and allowing them to discover their own takeaways from history through their own means.  I think the difference is their class size can create a huge change in the teaching style.  If Wesch was able to have more intimate conversations with his students, I imagine he would be more like Turkle.

Here is a clip from John Green about what will be on the test.  #AcademicCrush
