I need to use ‘Social Tools’ in my own practice, in order to show students how to navigate this digital landscape
I need to observe and analyze how students interact and discuss over on the Web, in order to guide them in their understanding
An increased interaction with the ‘outside world’, require that more resources are used to train students to evaluate information critically
Fragmented information without context makes students confused and my role involves organizing relevant sources
My teaching has not significantly been affected by ‘Social Tools’
When there are good tools related to the subject and good access to computers, I experience improved results in the course.
Students are attracted by the possibilities to cheat through plagiarizing others' materials or have someone else writing their course work
