The network student- the video displays a class similar to edm310. The video demonstrates how students no longer have to be handed the information, because there is so much information online now. Teachers now have found ways to make learning effective,by demanding students to take the knowledge provided and apply it to projects.This new style of instructing  is challenging the next generation.The question, is a teacher still needed? Yes, the teacher hands the students the blue print and assists the student as he or she builds. It is our job as teachers to challenge our students in a world where all the information is very easy to find. We must explain to them what information is most needed, and what information is not.We also must provide knowledge that almost can't be learned by just reading, and that is good character traits.What good is knowledge or a powerful message, or great skills if you can not convey it or use it effectively for your audience? So teachers are very well needed, because they have been through the process and can leave behind what it takes to make it through the process.
