This module has helped me think about the impact of the internet in my student's learning in the following ways...
Well, since I work with technology and the internet on an everyday basis, I see good and bad. More often than not, I see that technology, when properly implemented is an outstanding tool. I feel that collaboration in an online environment is really important for our students not just because of the curriculum they're learning, but because of the methods of collaboration that the students are learning. They're learning HOW to collaborate in the online world. That, in and of itself will, I think, assist my future students as they grow up in an increasingly technical world. How they learn is every bit as important as what they're learning...
The tools that we give them for online communication and online collaboration are just a glimpse of what will be available in the near future, but by exposing them now, we can start prepping them for what they will need to succeed.
