This film demonstrates the importance of students "...learning how to learn." The students had internet access at their fingertips in the classroom. As Davis taught the class, the students had the opportunity to Google words or ideas during her lecture. This gives students the opportunity to readily get a better understanding of subject matter while it is fresh on their minds. Also, a student may be able to find other information to help others in the class to get a better understanding of the subject.
Allowing students to become "digitally" smart is beneficial to students who do not have internet access readily available. All students do not have internet access at home. Students can learn to do assignments and turn it in on the web. The student may be able to work on their blog assignments at a library or elsewhere. Also, it is convenient for the teacher to post other ideas not covered in the class.
