The Networked Student
This video is a great diagram of how technology can help students. I think it is amazing how many different opportunities are offered for learning through the internet. Many people are concerned that if students start learning more through the internet then we won't need teachers. I strongly disagree with this. Teachers will always be needed to motivate students and lead them in the right direction. Also, the internet cannot explain things where everyone can understand it. Some people are hands-on learners and have to have someone to show them what to do. Technology is very helpful for the most part, but we still need people to help us out too.

This is so cool! I love how everything is right there withing one click of the mouse! It is a great way to stay organized and connected. This video also gave me some great ideas for my PLN. I cannot wait to finish mine up and see how it turns out.
McLeod: You got the sarcasm. Many students didn't and interpreted McLeod's post literally.
ReplyDeleteShort, but sweet. A perfect example of how wordier doesn't always mean better.
