The Networked Teacher

Here’s another image to ponder.

Via by Lorelle Van Fossen (Edublogs Magazine).

The image suggests that todays educators are interconnected with a variety or resources/ methods. Would you say this represents you? Is it overwhelming or just how it is. Or as Fossen suggests “it opens up a whole world of the possible, finding creative inspiration, support, collaboration, and strength in each connection.”

What does it mean to you? My thoughts: where’s the student in all this? Where’s the relation between tutor and student? Is it implied, on the image, through staff use of social networks or wikis? And would the same interconnection apply them?
