The Networked Student by Wendy Drexler

I'm not sure if I'm prepared to teach a networked student because I first have to get use to teaching period. Pretty soon with all of this technology equipment, students will no longer need teachers, they will be able to be taught by a computer. Technology seems to be taking the world by storm and some people could be in danger of losing their jobs because of it.
The teacher teaches him how to use the network and take advantage of learning opportunities.She offers guidance when he gets stuck, shows him how to communicate properly and ask respectively for help from experts, shows him how to differentiate from good behavior and propaganda, how to vet a resource, etc. The teacher really won't be teaching, it's more a having a helpful partner. At least it's not my perception of teaching.
