Blog Post #7

The Network Student
The network student video was an amazing and informational video. The student was able to find valid information with a little assistant from the teacher. The teacher came from connectivism base learning, which she implemented in her classroom. The teacher begins the class by making sure the students have the basic computer network skills before moving on to projects. The teacher never did lectures and the student’s did not have a text book. The teacher had the students take control of the learning by connecting to students online.

Since there are no lectures or text books, the resource used by the network students are scholarly websites, ITunes8, social book mark, blogs, reader tool, and MP3 player. The student begins searching other blogs before he creates a blog of his own. TheMP3 player is used to listen to lectures of great professors and the social bookmark is to mark site with articles that he likes or that may interest someone else. The reader tool is used to tell when a blogger has posted an update. ITunes8 gives him access to professors all over the world.

The network student reminds me so much of EDM310 because Dr. Strange is there to help guide you to the place that you need to be without giving you the answer. Why does the Network Students even need a teacher? The network student needs a teacher to teach him how to correctly maneuver through the internet. She guides him with the appropriate steps, so the student can successfully complete an assignment. She helps him understand how to differentiate between valid and invalid information.

Welcome to My PLE A 7th Graders Personal Learning Environment, network student, and EDM310 (PLN) are all one in the same. They begin with the basic fundamental of the internet. The knowledge of how to operate a computer is something a student should have before beginning the class. Each student spends time researching and free flowing through the internet. The students are able to freely complete the assignment without the guidance of a teacher. The teachers are there to help as needed. Many times the students are able to complete the projects without or little to no assistant from a teacher. The teachers are mainly there for moral supports because they are trying help you build the knowledge so you will be able to apply it on your own in the real world.

  1. I really enjoyed your post. There was only one error that I could spot.

    "Since there are no lectures or text books, the resource used by the network students are scholarly websites, ITunes8, social book mark, blogs, reader tool, and MP3 player."

    You should have used a semicolon(;) after websites since you were starting a list of things.

    Other than that one error your post was good!

  2. Georgia,

    Unlike Keely, I found a lot of errors, especially with regards to spelling or grammar. In the second sentence, for example, "a little assistant from the teacher" should read "a little assistance from the teacher." Throughout your post I found a lot of errors like that where you either use the wrong word or used the colloquial spelling of a word by either leaving off a letter, adding a letter that isn't necessary, or changing the word slightly in some other way. One thing that I found interesting is that you referred to the "Networked Student" as the "Network student." I've noticed that a lot of people have done the same thing. It's very strange. Also, please disregard the advice of using the semicolon left by Keely. That's wrong. She tried. Anyway, it's fine without the semicolon, but the sentence she quotes actually has a few other things that I want to mention. Resource should be plural; network should be networked; iTunes8 should be iTunes U, which is short for iTunes University.

    My best advice is for you to type your posts in a Word document and let the built in grammar and spelling detector help. It won't catch everything, but that's where proof reading comes into the picture.

    Other than those things I pointed out, I thought your post was actually very thoughtful and well done. Good work!
