Teaching in Social and Technological Networks
George Siemens writes about the role of the teacher in this absorbing blog post on teaching in social networks. Mr. Siemens describes a world where "for educators, control is being replaced with influence. Instead of controlling a classroom, a teacher now influences or shapes a network." He goes on to explain seven roles a teacher plays in networked learning environments:
- Amplifying
- Curating
- Wayfinding and socially-driven sensemaking
- Aggregating
- Filtering
- Modeling
- Persistent presence
