Thing 1 Summer 2010
After watching the video on connectivism, I came away with a few contrasting thoughts. I like the idea of being able to access any textbook, classroom, course etc. However, I am not quite sure about how the student is to go about finding these things. I see this as the role of the teacher: to direct the student to the correct sources. I think the teacher and or libraian's role in this connectivism is a bit more complicated than what the video shows. I see the role almost like a traffic cop; telling individuals which way to go.
