		<description>I think it wouldn&#039;t work on most faculty because in some ways it portrays students in a way that can easily be negatively bent and it doesn&#039;t really offer any solutions.

The video makes sense if you already think things need to change but if your viewpoint is that the students aren&#039;t holding up their end then you can certainly pay attention to specific chunks that reinforce that view.  Kind of a &quot;bah humbung- I knew they didn&#039;t come to class and all they do is waste time on those Intertubes instead of doing real work!&quot;- kind of mindset.

I think real change has to be driven by different forces.  Professors need positive reasons to change that they relate to rather than negatives that are more focused on students.  

It&#039;s kind of like heart attack survivors- very few change their lifestyles despite being told by their Dr.s that they&#039;ll die if they don&#039;t- a pretty strong negative consequence.  They have had some real success getting people to change by focusing on how living will allow them to do x, y and z that all add to the quality of their life.  

My own two cents on change anyway,
