I think the student probably became very proficient on using all the internet has to offer, and probably learned more than he ever thought he would. I got my Master Degree from SHSU through their online reading specialist program. So I had to learn this way to a degree. All my lectures from professors around the education world were posted by my professors at SHSU so I didn't have to search the web for them like this student did. I did worry for the student b/c it seemed like he wasn't getting any support from his teacher.
Teacher role: The teacher support as I found out at the end of the video was much more than I thought the student was getting. As long as the teacher is modeling and helping the students with their learning it worked for me. I am a big believer that kids need a warm body and heart to facilitate their learning, not a hard box with that can entertain them. I think that a librarian can certainly play the role that this teacher did. Right now our school libraries are equipped to handle a handful of kids doing research and using the librarian to facilitate this learning.
The video was entertaining and was really well made.
