After viewing "The Networked Student" again, I have to admit that I have scruples about my students being the self-starters they need to be in order to be successful as a networked student. I have so many students, even today, who will sit and wait for me to lead them through the searching process because they "don't know what to do." It is frustrating, to say the least, when I give specific instructions and then have to go and lead the students by the hand through a project to get any productivity.
I do believe the students can be networked learners, but need strategies to help teach them those first baby steps. I can show the students how to set up a blog or a wiki, but enticing them to use it is a different can of beans!
