Medination

What would you do if Bill S. Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan, the title duo of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey walked into your classroom spouting their trademark slang and sporting their trademark nonchalance towards the material? While their teacher unknowingly received the aid of a man from the future and his time traveling phone booth, we only have much more modest pedagogical approaches at our disposal. However, as our society becomes increasingly more techno-literate each day, the realm of possibilities opens up.

This book examines what this shift towards techno-literacy means in regards to reified objects, the difference between high and low culture, and pedagogy. By using an ideological social constructionist lens, we can understand our participation in the creation of reified objects, and how the acknowledgment of that process and its objects within the classroom can motivate and engage students in unique and positive ways.
