Q1:
No, I’m not. Although blog, msn, and internet prevail over our generation, we still fail to combine those tools with our academic study. Mostly, I’ll use internet to find some information and knowledge. However, it’s just a unilateral searching but the interaction with other information providers or other learners. Besides, we are accustomed to paper reading material since we are little. It’s hard for Chinese students, at least for me to get use to this kind of learning method.
Q2:
“Net worked students” mean students who can share information and knowledge through internet and much interactive software. For example, students use blog to show their academic performance and learning experience and also find some useful expertise and information from other’s blog. They can even listen to some of the best professors’ lectures through internet. Through using interactive sharing tools or platforms, students’ own learning net can be organized. Students can easily get information from it.
I think it’s a great change not only to the school students but to the whole generation. Different opinions and thoughts can be respected and learners can have diverse access to the knowledge and the exchange of information can be more frequently. Apart from getting useful knowledge, students can also improve their critical thinking ability through the process of interacting with other learners. On the contrary, it’s also a dangerous change because students may be misled when they are lacking of judgment.

1. I'm not, either. Although internet is such well-developed and people can contact or exchange idea with people from the other side of world quite easily, I would still prefer and get used to learn new things from reading text books and listening to teachers' lectures in school.
2. According to the video clip, "Networked students" may represent that students who use internet as a learning tool for connecting and contacting with people world-widely. They can use blogs, data bases to collect informations and mutually discuss ideas with different people based on a certain academic topic. Just like its name, "Networked students" themselves are in a immense network which consist people together to learn and acquire knowledgeable sources to support their learning. I personally think it may be a good change because we can maintain our global perspectives from communicating with these people around the world. Also, from others help, we can get into the main ideas faster and clearer. We can usually have a unique thought and sparks through the opinion transmission from the networked online learning.
I think students in this generation should all equip with the ability of using internet as a learning tool, not only for searching information but also for developing their own learning net. From this process, students can organize their own data base and gain more extensive knowledge. This learning approach should prevail in both educational institutes and personal learning and should be well-developed.
