Can you imagine what this will mean for developing countries who may be able to study this for free? How do we get them access?

Getting them access will be the next challenges. But I know there are groups that are creating mobile Internet cafes that are powered by solar energy.

There are already online degree courses, but the MIT proposal is unusual in that it is inviting students anywhere in the world, without charge or prior entrance requirements, to study for a certificate carrying the MIT brand.

I think this is a positive thing because you can still find ways to communicate with your teacher, and it is great to be able to figure out how you best learn and adapt your learning to that concept.

While this may be very effective, there are two points of contention. How does technology effectively blend in with learning? and the second is, How do we overcome the negative side effects of using technology?
-
-
Students are taking responsibility for their own learning, and the lines between student and teacher are blurring. Learners can determine their strengths and weaknesses and connect with one another to help and teach each other based on their areas of expertise--all they need is Facebook and Twitter.
-
This quotation makes us think deeper. If lines between students and teacher blur, there can be positive effects, for example, students have responsibility to their own learning and they can determine their strengths and weaknesses, however, there can also be some negative effects, for example, because it's the students who take the responsibility, they might not bother to work hard if they choose not to be hard-working.
-
-
-
I believe that this is one of the most effective examples of how technology is affecting us today. We can now learn at our own pace, which is very beneficial to everyone. By sharing and collaborating with others, we also build relationships and interact in ways that have never been heard of before.
-
-
This kind of social and collaborative behavior results in teachers and students working together as peers (gasp!)

Education is changing, and it’s changing fast.
-
Just like everything else! There is more technology and improvement in old technology so learning has become easier and more efficient.
-
-
Learners, not institutions, are leading innovation. This is an era of plenty. I like to call it the Education Harvest.
-
People are taking their lives into their own hands and doing what they need to do to succeed ! Taking their education into their own hands so they can achieve great things when they are older!

This is of course a problem. I'm sure this world would have much more competent workers if self-taught people can receive credit for what they have done.

The education paradigm of the future is all about the doers, not the academics or theorists. A paper degree won’t stand a chance against action. Start your own company, build a website, organize an event, get a side project, and you’ll make it.
-
-
This proves that technology is not only negative as proves this article. We can see that there are a great amount of positive factors to technology.
-
-
-
Personalized learning, I think, is one of the greatest factors of technology, and especially internet. We can see this happening at ISD as well, with some students self-educating themselves through websites online, and even take an exam at the end of the year.
-
-
-
It's amazing to see how many resources there are out there for education purposes. Sources like Khan Academy, TED talks, and YouTube are nothing less than an institution on themselves.

-
This shows how far technology has come in all these tear. Also shows how it can make education somewhat convenient for students.

Using Diigo in schools - 0 views
-
Ways Teachers Can Use Diigo Assign an online reading passage and highlight important sections for students. Underline and even add definitions to vocabulary words in an online passage. For essays or research assignments, have students highlight their online resources. This cuts down on their tendency to cut and paste when you can clearly see where they found the information. Create a Diigo group with other teachers and share useful web pages and benefit from each other’s insight. Make notations beside videos to let teachers or students know what sections to watch or to explain if something is unclear. Instead of emailing links, just bookmark them in Diigo to streamline the process. Search Diigo’s worldwide database to find pertinent information and read other people’s comments for added input. Since the service is cloud based, students can bookmark sites at school and then find them at home. Have a virtual discussions about a website or article by having every student include a sticky note with their thoughts. Teach reading skills by having students write small summaries on sticky notes beside major paragraphs.

This article does not express enough scientific proof. As you can see even in the comments below that video games do not make people violent.
