It may be difficult for some people to constantly use the internet to search for different things but it is very easy. With teachers using different techniques to teach can be very frustrating, but some students learn different ways. Some may learn better visually and using the internet or some may learn better with that one on one contact. In the video, the student is being taught through the web and the teacher is giving him tools and resource on how to use the internet to find information. But that student has to realize that he is still on his own. What I also like about watching the video is how they explain the networked student by using cut out drawling. It seems like a good way to get your attention.
Why does the networked student need a teacher? The answer is simple! Even though the student can find their information on the internet, there are still things that students are not going to understand and are going to need help. When a student has a question about an assignment, they will need to be able to ask the teacher. This will also provide a chance to have that one on one time with that teacher. Teachers are there as guides to help students communicate, help put together ideas, and find good information that will help them succeed in life. Without the guidance of a teacher, students would be lost.

Students who are using a PLE are learning a wonderful lesson about being responsible. The student can come up with their own schedule for keeping up with their assignments. The PLE looks like a fun way to learn and it gives the students the opportunity to have a variety of internet access for resources to get information. I like the way the way that the student could save different information in one space so they could go back to it later and find out where they got that information.

"...I realized that mostly every class has some kind of connection involving the internet...." most, not mostly
ReplyDelete"...how to uses things..." use, not uses
"...may learn better with that one on one contact" Omit that.
"...tools and resource on how to use..." resources, not resource
Thoughtful.
Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI thought that you explained "The Networked Student" very well! You did a good job summing up the teacher's role with this sentence: "Teachers are there as guides to help students communicate, help put together ideas, and find good information that will help them succeed in life." The only main error I saw other than what Dr. Strange pointed out was that "drawling" should be "drawing". I think that you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

"With teachers using different techniques to teach can be very frustrating, but some students learn different ways." This sentence sounds a little awkward. Dr. Strange mentioned everything else I could see. But this really is a well thought out post. I can definitely appreciate the fact that some students learn differently than others.
