Assignment:
"With the proliferation of information and the convenience of access to this vast ocean of information, it is the primary responsibility of the teacher to chart a way through this chaos, to provide order and create the conditions to encourage a deep approach to learning." (Garrison & Anderson, 2005, p. 17)
Consider the above statement in terms of your own experiences as a learner. Then, reflect on the following questions: Have you felt overwhelmed by the 21st century information environment? Has it impacted your learning experiences? What role do you envision for technology in helping the teacher "chart a way"?
Write a response supporting your position on how technology should be used to enhance instruction and learning.
