Chapter 3: Emerging Roles Within the Knowledge Community

The part that stood out to me in this chapter was the section on reverse mentoring. I loved the first sentence, "teachers do not need a lot of technical skills." With the way that technology is changed, almost on a daily basis it seems, there is just way too much to keep up with. Teachers need to be able to manage our classroom while students are using many technologies at one time. It is more important for us to to learn what the students are able to do with their skills. Example was designing a website. The teacher doesn't have to design the website, but have the students do it with the teacher acting as one of the publisher/editor.

One thing that I know that I need to really work on was listed on page 39, The essential skill is to know: what to publish, when to publish, & hot to help students make a meaning of feedback.
