11.5 Thing #1 - Connectivism

What an inspirational video. Our students can use their toys such as computers and iPods to create knowledge. I was thrilled when the narrator mentioned using the library's databases for this project. The librarian can definitely play a role in this type of learning by showing the students how to evaluate websites, use the subscription databases, and cite those sources. The video mentioned all the reasons why the teacher was still necessary in this type of learning, but the librarian can teach many of those skills in preparation for the project and make this a collaboration.
