Jeff Jarvis has been named director of the new-media program and associate professor at the new Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York.

As he notes here:

“I don’t want to teach them so much as learn from them.”

“I plan plan to webcast the courses I teach — not so we can teach the world but so the world can teach us.”

See - it’s the conversation. If I ever teach, those are among the core reasons I would.
