Internet Changes
Margarette, Agreed!! :) Yes, the role of teachers is now to guide more than source, however, teachers now must be aware of the kinds of information available and sites that actually benefit the learner. Therefore, teachers must go on learning themselves about technology and how it can change entire learning experiences for their students. Dr. Ruth Reynard

Dr. Naomi, Yes, the changes are not only with delivery but methods and processes. I think "blended" will become the norm for every class as online increases real time connections and on ground increases online connections. Good discussion. Dr. Ruth Reynard

The Effect of New Technology
Rebecca, Yes, there are still gaps in use of technology so instructors have to be aware of this. Managing this learning curve in class makes sense. Dr. Ruth Reynard
