In chapter 1 of our book Personal Learning Network the authors, Will Richardson and Rob Mancabelli, talked about the use of the internet in classrooms. I actually like where they are trying too take the education classroom and I believe there are some great advantages, but at the same time there are some slight disadvantages.
With taking the class to the internet there are some advantages such as having foreign language classes work with those foreign countries, having english students blog the author of whichever novel they are reading, or having science classes working with other scientist from the National Institute of Health.
I agree with the foreign languages point! It would be awesome to have instant connection to the people who speak the language you are learning.
