This video was created in the way with the artwork and how it changed during the video. The video also shows how and why students should be technologically literate. A student needs to build their personal learning network. After that, they can create a blog or start to comment on blogs from around the world.
I do agree with Wendy Drexler on why a networked student needs a teacher. The reasons are as follows: to have guidance when your stuck, show how to communicate properly, and ask for help from experts as well as to show how to differentiate between good information and propaganda. Like some, if i didn't have a teacher I wouldn't know where to begin. So it is good to have teachers that can point us in the right direction.
Mrs. Drexler talked about experimenting with a middle school class on social networks and I was amazed to hear of her results. I applaud her for having guts to push students forward. I think it would be good for students to learn this at an early age. As fast as technology is having an impact on schools as well as the world students need to learn as fast as they can.

Your link takes you to the wrong place. Mrs. Drexler had not conducted any activities with middle school students when she wrote her presentation. I hope to get her to Skype us discuss any results she may now have.
