[Air-L] This week TV debates about Facebook and Andrew Keen

[Nancy Baym]

The videos for these 2 shows are now streaming for a few more days on 
TVO's website (Look in the column on the left):

They can also be downloaded from iTunes if one subscribes to the 
Agenda video podcast.

I was one of the guests on the Facebook panel and think it was a good 
discussion that would be handy in teaching the topic and raising 
questions for class discussion. Download podcast here (not sure how 
long it stays there):

I have avoided the Andrew Keen one :)
