The media Awareness network has released a new report on Teachers Perspectives of young Canadians in a wired world (the advertising says it's part three of a series, but part 1 was 2001 and part 2 was 2006 so I think it's safer to view this as a stand-alone report, as data about web use in 2001 are simply not relevant today). According to the report, teachers agree that "simple access to networked technologies has not made their students better learners." On the other hand, being networked changes the way students learn - the "drill and kill" method, for example, does not work with networked students. And there are ways networked learning can improve learning - through access to learning resources, communicating with others outside the classroom, collaborative learning, and working with individualized learning styles.
