This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students' learning in the following ways...
Students today eat, sleep, breathe, and think Internet most (if not all) of their day. Their interaction with the Internet is a tool to be used, not a enemy to be defeated. We should accomodate our teaching styles to the way they think, rather than expecting them to learn the ways that we did. The sites we have learned about today will help me integrate the Internet into the classes I co-teach, by allowing students to respond immediately to class content, as well as places for me to gather information for them to access.

You are so right about teaching to the style of the students rather than to the style in which we were taught. When you incorporate technology in the classroom, even something as simple as a blog, students who don't normally participate in class will suddenly come to life!
