Thing #1

The connectivist teacher's role at first glance is minimal since the student is in charge of much of his learning, but when one thinks about it, the teacher is the facilitator. He/she will instruct the student on how to use the tools in his tool box. He or she will also guide the student as they implement theses tools. This is the epitome of student led learning, which is what our ultimate classroom goal should be. The video, while very dry, illustrates just how easily a well-connected student can embody student-led instruction/learning. I think a librarian could easily play the role described by the video.
