The Changing Roles of Students Student learning should be at the center of any educational model and the focus of any change efforts. In classrooms that have fully integrated technology into teaching and learning, digital tools and skills do not merely replicate traditional activities. Rather, they truly expand learning skills and pose new challenges. With technology, students can perform work that is close in scope and quality to that of more advanced scholars, such as conducting sophisticated analyses, syntheses, and simulations. Some new problems arise however. Computer-mediated communication lacks some of the traditional cues of face-to-face communication and there are few standard protocols and norms of behavior for this type of communication. The amount and accessibility of data now available to students can be a boon but also brings up questions of plagiarism and originality. Are students actually engaged when wading through this material or are they participating in what has been described as an "advanced form of photocopying?" 5 Sites such as AcaDemon and realPAPERS.com offer complete term papers for sale to students while Plagiarism.org is an online resource for educators intended to prevent students from turning in papers that are not their own. Another problem occurs when students using the Internet for research assume "the answer" is available in the ether somewhere. Students developing the skills to search, validate, analyze, and synthesize information need guidance to understand that there may not be a single true answer, and their expression of an answer may take various forms. Did You Know? There are many valuable online resources for students. The scope of resources is virtually unlimited and covers virtually every grade level and content area. A few popular examples for students are given below.
