OneWebDay is Monday. Here's a link to the spiffy event site:

The idea is to celebrate the benefits we derive from the Web. The hope is the more we appreciate it, the more we'll be protective of it. You can read more on the OneWebDay's About Page...
Last year I did a video of UIC students talking about how they use the web. This year I've got a ton of committments so I'll just have to replay last year's effort. See below.
Students and Staff at UIC talk about what the Web means to them. The clip contains excerpts of 17 interviews taken over a series of days in observance of OneWebDay 2007.
Again a fine day at UIC. I got lots of great input.
It'll be a challenge to put it together for a 10 minute clip.
One way or the other, it'll be on YouTube.com with the tags 'onewebday2007' and 'UIC'.
First day of videotaping at UIC. Even the weather cooperated! See ya tomorrow (11a-2:30p)
[From my UIC Announcement:]
OneWebDay is a global online event celebrating the importance of the Web (website: http://www.onewebday.org).
As explained by the event organizers:
"The essence of OneWebDay is to create a global constituency that thinks of itself as responsible for the future of the Internet, so that when negative things happen (censorship, restricted access, heavy-handed law enforcement control) people will act." (http://www.onewebday.org/?p=228)
This year they're encouraging people to make "short videos". As a personal project, I'd like to invite faculty, staff & students to come to the Quad (East Campus) on Wed.-Thurs. (9/19-9/20, 11:30a-2:30pm). There I'll be videotaping responses to any of the following suggested topics:
I'll take highlights from the taping and put together a 10-minute clip, then upload it on YouTube on Sat. 2/22 (the "official" day) with the tags "UIC" and "onewebday2007".
OneWebDay is a great idea and it's sponsored by academics and experts like Susan Crawford (currently at UMich) who believe in an Internet as wide open and accessible as possible. Help contribute to the day by relating your experiences!
Contact: Leo Klein, Tech. Coordinator, Partnership READ, COE, UIC
Note: I'll be on the south side of the Quad. Look for the camera mounted on a green tripod. Alternative location (in case of inclement weather, etc.): just outside the west-side exit of Student Center East.
