I think the “Networked Students” are students mainly learned from the Internet.
I think learning from the internet has pros and cons, no having absolute good or bad.
On the bright side, learning from the Internet is unrestricted by the distance and time. We can have classmates who are in different countries, in this way, we can not only make more friends but also get many different thoughts from different countries’ classmates about the same question. In addition we also can advantage the abundant resources on the Internet such as google and wikispaces. However, some information on the Internet is not absolutely correct which is likely to mislead your thought. Hence, when we learn from the internet, we must to have ability to distinguish the information’s true and false. And if we only learn from the internet, we will reduce the opportunity to interact with people. We cannot face to face to discuss deeply what we are thinking about and what our classmates want to express.
In the sum, if we use the internet appropriately, the internet will be a good helper for our learning.
Learners were independent in the past twenty years in Taiwan. The opportunities for learning from internet were few, not mention learning from internet pals. However, with the improvement of technology, learners have more chance to learn from internet and their internet friends. The studioclassroom.com is a good website for English learners. He or she can listen to its daily programs and record the listening with the software, Goldwave. Learners can post their reflection on the “English Corner” Section. Others could read or reply his or her reflection.

Lectures are unnecessary for connectivism. Students learn through database and their pals from internet. For the abundance of the database on the internet and the help from internet pals, learners beneficial from the free approach to the internet. Their pals might have more capacity on certain aspect of knowledge. Through interacting with internet friends, learners could acquire the knowledge they need. However, learning means the combination of learners, instructors, and the environment. For online learning, the uncertainty is its specialty. To make a long-term friend from the internet is difficult. The maintenance of friendship needs the interaction through eye contact and body language in reality. Moreover, the digital equipment can hurt learners’ healthy.

回覆刪除When users use the networked resource, in the meanwhile, users should be restraint themselves. Don’t become the internet addiction.
According to my observation, many students wear glasses nowadays. That means that students spend too much time on TV or computer. As an instructor, one should prevent to give much on-line task to students. Meanwhile, criminals sometimes happen via internet. Many students become victims before of their internet pals. Those bad guys use internet for rape. Parents and teachers should teach students how to protect themselves while manipulate the technology. Don’t trust too much on what happen via internet, especially dating with internet pals.
