Chapter5

What are the pros and cons of online learning? It can help students be more engaged. It gets them out of the textbook. However, it can make it difficult to to pick up and move. I mean you can take a book into the hallway with out worrying about loosing connection.
Online may not work for some kids to do at home.

I do believe the education of the future will involve on line learning.

Chapter4

How do we construct knowledge through primary sources. Teaching kids internet safety will help this area. For example, ".edu" or ".gov" will be closer to primary source than ".com". It is the teachers responsibility to set up the environment so that he kids can learn. Have the websites set up for the kids to go to, but allow them to make the choice.
