We all learn

This whole blogging idea is very new to me. This class has opened my eyes to a vast knowledge that awaits me and everyone in this world. The fact that you can ustream a conference and see it while it is happening or view it later is great. You don't have to be constrained to timeframes and places. The world is a whole possibility when it comes to learning. Textbooks and lectures are becoming just tools in our learning process. The web of learning has endless possibilities. The only thing I would be concerned with is the fact that there is so much information out there, where do you begin and how do you sort through fact and fiction? This information is available world wide. You can blog with someone in Africa or Asia. You can watch a conference in Alaska and then watch one in England. These possibilities can enhance the subjects we teach and give our students a broader view. Gone are the days of going to the library and researching book to book. You can narrow down research quicker and easier with the use of the web. Teaching our students to use this efficiently will be a challenge. With the amount of information I can see spending an entire day researching a subject. This, I think is a potential problem.
