1.) As you said a students can use technology and find information independently. This is true, however finding information is not what is important. Being able to interpret and attain correct information is what makes technology so beneficial. This is why teachers are needed. Are duty is to guide the students and make sure they can comprehend what they need from the information they find. We should help them to determine what information is credible and show them how they can use ideas from other people to develop their own. Your point of connectivism was interesting. I like the idea and think students can really benefit. 2.) This video was well done. There were things shown that I have never heard about. The students school work was neatly organized which I think can make a big difference in a student’s success. All the information she had previously researched was easily accessible and noted with where it was found. I am actually going to start using symbaloo to get more organized.
