The Networked Student was inspired by CCK08, a Connectivism course offered by George Siemens and Stephen Downes during fall 2008. It depicts an actual project completed by Wendy Drexler’s high school students. The Networked Student concept map was inspired by Alec Couros’ Networked Teacher. I hope that teachers will use it to help their colleagues, parents, and students understand networked learning in the 21st century.Anyone is free to use this video for educational purposes.

The Networked Student
A video to use with administrators, parents, and others to explain how new tools and new connections are important to create 21st century learners. It does miss the collaboration with your media specialist, but it does mention the media center. Found via Tame the Web,

Ann,
As someone who "loved" my online learning experiences through graduate school I can completely relate to the benefits of the video you posted. I think that students can definitely expand their thinking, absorption of valuable information, and technology skills through this type of teaching/learning. However....as I watched the video I kept envisioning my students off task at the computers (they sit shoulder to shoulder in my lab of 34 computers) and talking socially about everything except the topic at hand.
I feel like the nemesis in adding great technology options to my classes is TIME. I need time to prep and create great lessons, walk through the process myself, and develop the support worksheets and lectures required to launch this type of assignment. Do you have access to any curriculum writing dollars so that I could take a week away from the classroom to immerse myself totally in this type of endeavor????!!! ;-)
As always thanks for sharing great stuff in your blog.
