social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher.

Zach Lonsinger on 12 Jun 14This is a powerful opinion. I disagree. But I guess it all depends on perspective. I feel as if social and technological networks would add to the classroom-based role of the teacher by allowing the teacher to bring in the experts and be able to direct the students in the right direction. Again this may come back to being able to "know where to look" for information in an age of digital literacy.

In the future, however, the role of the teacher, the educator, will be dramatically different from the current norm.

I see this happening now, especially with my class last semester (spring 2014 Design Studio). The professor knew what he was doing, but the class was more less about him teaching us, and more about us teaching each other and ourselves. We simple went to class to discuss what we have been doing, new exciting technology discoveries, and to ask questions on projects or any edtech related issue really.
