What I, as an educator, like best is that the teacher gathers the resources at the start. The students, with encouragement, then do their own research. This process sets the scene to show students that what they learn and do in the classroom is only the first step towards lifelong learning. Vast founts of knowledge are being tapped when students use technology. By using technology, the teacher no longer has that huge responsibility.
Education is no longer paper-based nor based on rote memorization.
Learners no longer need to confine their learning to specific hours such as nine to three, the typical school day. This is what they will find when they enter the work force. Yes, by using the Internet, you are taking the lead and introducing a new order of things. I cannot think of a greater nor more rewarding challenge.
