Networked StudentQT.mp4

The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler's high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros' Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.

I'm not surprised at the variety of comments you are receiving. I would love to have a deeper conversation with the teacher who thought I was joking. I have a number of teachers with that point of view at my own school. On the other hand, I've heard from and know many more who are trying to embrace networked learning and wondering where to start. Thanks so much for your comments.

I posted a note about this on Facebook:

"Ignore the (UK) government's futile attempts to 'raise standards'. This film shows the world our children live in.

Two responses:

A post grad student wrote: "The video was fascinating - its amazing what resources we have at our disposal these days, quite incredible!"

A teacher wrote: "Please tell me you are being ironic! You ARE joking, aren't you?"

"The digital divide is not between rich and poor, it's between students and their teachers".
