11.5 Things - Thing #1

Well, here I go for round two. I'm not giving up, although it is a challenge for me, so be patient. I watched the video about the Networked Student. Things have definately changed since I was in school. All the Web 2.0 technologies have made it possible for students today to gather and share information from all around the world in record time. Teachers and Librarians should be moving into the role of facilitator and guide as opposed to instructor. The kids today already are familiar with the technologies (i.e. social networking), now we just need to encourage them to transfer those skills to educational purposes.
