I first want to say that I am extremely...Nickolas,<br /><br />I first want to say that I am extremely impressed with your blog, and I love how engaged you are in your responses to the different assignments. I can truly tell that you are taking this class seriously and you desire to learn more and grow in your knowledge. I thought you did an excellent job summarizing the new role of the teacher in your comment: "While we still are responsible for passing on information it is now becoming more pertinent that we teach skills of how to gain, filter, and verify knowledge as it is so readily available with a few keystrokes." It appears that many teachers are either not ready or do not want to change, but frankly, we must accept this new role to help our students further their education. While I personally do not enjoy online classes here at South, I must admit that I have learned a great deal from some of my professors who teach online. Whether we enjoy this new form of education or not, we must accept this change and work to our utmost ability to assist our students in their learning. <br /><br />I definitely agree that this idea of a networked student can be quite overwhelming, but I believe if we prepare ourselves and are open-minded, we will be ready to teach these students. After reading your comments, I certainly believe you are ready for the changes that are occurring, and I think you will be a great teacher who engages the students and sparks creativity within their minds.Jamie Lynn Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566681587302179124noreply@blogger.com
