We recently were introduced to Academic Earth. A great site! Watch the video and see how they boiled Fahrenheit 451 down to a three minute summary that encapsulates the major issues/themes found in this classic by Ray Bradbury.
Who or what is AcademicEarth.org?
Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 at the height of McCarthyism. Today, with the increasing proliferation of surveillance equipment in American cities, the spread of digital books and the decline of attention spans, Fahrenheit 451 remains a startlingly relevant work of fiction today.
Academic Earth believes that everyone has the right to a world-class education. Recognizing the existing barriers in academia, we continue ur efforts to curate an unparalleled collection of free online courses from the world’s top universities. Moving forward, we honor the egalitarian spirit of Academic Earth’s founders as we develop a platform to facilitate the global sharing of ideas, both inside and outside the classroom.-AcademicEarth.org
