Student Networking


This is a very interesting video to watch,but was very informative. I think that if students being to network for education it will make some classes obsolete. I think it is a good idea to have students network with eachother for the simple fact that students do need to interact with eachother. They will probaly learn at a faster rate and be motivated to want to learn more. For the classroom of tomorrow this will stimulate young minds to use technology for educational reasons. This type of learning will teach students how to use the internet, do proper research online, and to be creative with this type of technology.

There are a few points that I would question with student networking. The first would be. What is the purpose of the teacher? It seems to me there really isn't a reason for the teacher if everything is going to be online. And the second question to that is. What to do about classes that need to be lectured. Some classes are to difficult to just do online. There would have to be a fine line between lecture time and computer time for this to work.

Overall this video was great and I really think it would be great. It would get shy students interacting with other people and get the weaker students paired up with stronger students. If a few kinks could get worked out I can really see this student networking could really take education to a new level. i could see myself as a educator using this in the classroom as well as some lecture time too. It is time we take the next step in the right direction to educating our younger generation.



PLN or PLE


This video left me in total shock. Its a good tool for students to learn how to manage. Doing this type of project would bring excitement and motivation learn in any classroom. The preparation for this was phenominal and breath taking to see the students taking action to make this project work. This type of learning is taking a step into the future for education.

    Your post meets all the basic requirements of assignment and has good, thoughtful feedback on the Networked Student. A couple of grammatical errors are "eachother" should be each other, and when you are getting ready to introduce a question I would suggest replacing "The first would be." with "The first would be:".



    Other than that your post is done well. Also, thank you for your service!!
