A teacher/instructor/professor obviously plays numerous roles in a traditional classroom: role model, encourager, supporter, guide, synthesizer.

I am really grateful for this edtec 467 class and the opportunity to really hands on with the Diigo tool.
-
The Diigo tool is so powerful and useful for bookmarking, sharing, and commenting with groupmates!
-
I agree with you. What a powerful tool. When I turn my Diigo toolbar off, it is like hiding knowledge for I don't see the remarks made by others and makes me wonder what else I have missed.

Selecting a textbook, determining and sequencing lecture topics, and planning learning activities, are all undertaken to offer coherence of a subject area. Instructional (or learning) design is a structured method of coherence provision.

The largely unitary voice of the traditional teacher is fragmented by the limitless conversation opportunities available in networks. When learners have control of the tools of conversation, they also control the conversations in which they choose to engage.

I agree with this statement...however, someone has to teach these students how to go out and find this information. This is what is wrong with today's technology being incorporated into the classrooms. The teachers are not trained first!
-
I agree! Training opportunities on how to get these resources into the classroom are needed!
-
This is true. I agree that there needs to be more training and workshops for the teachers. But that means more inservice days and less school for the kids. It's a trade-off that would definitely need looked at. But Obama's new ConnectED plan does calls for more teacher professional development in the field of technology education. I talked a little about this in my week four blog curation.

I agree the teachers need training first, however don't most teachers take 'work' home with them such as students assignments to grade? IF that's the case, then why isn't learning new technology part of that? Is there an attitude that if the administration doesn't teach it to the teachers than they don't have to know it? This is where the DIY learner should come into play. Those teachers that want to adopt and try new things will commit their time to do so, meanwhile those that are ok with the status quo will not seek out new methods to incorporate technology into their classroom.

Traditional teachers feel threatened by tech, when it could enhance their abilities. At what point does the teacher become obsolete, in favor of a less biased Google search?

"Course content is similarly fragmented." Students are no longer confined to textbooks, they can use multiple resources to find different perspectives and knowledge. Youtube, Skype, blogs, and virtual museums allow students to enter a new world, from their chairs in a classroom miles away with a single click of a button.

This description of Web 1.0 makes me think if some teachers in the Web 2.0 era are still perceiving web for education with a Web 1.0 mindset. Watch this video on the 'Learning' in virtual environment by seeing what e-learning is not http://youtu.be/aLEo4tXB7Sk Web 2.0 technology if used appropriately can promote learning by creating a need to learn. I am very grateful for this class that gave me a reason to dabble with Diigo (as Justin remarked - it is a very powerful tool) and think through the questions as I read the required articles. Six months ago I was told about this tool but there was not much learning taking place.

This is understandable, hence we can see many support teams in campuses around the world develop PD for teaching staff in the use of Web 2.0 technology. Sometimes we try to present the pedagogical reasons for use of technology but we as non academic staff have to be sensitive about this as some faculty members may feel we are treading on their turf.
