Too much freedom

I can't totally agree with all that was said in this module in regards to allowing students to access information in various forms. In my experience, too many, if given the opportunity to use the internet in class, will usually end up,very quickly, on socail sites etc that have no relation to course content. Perhaps it is the 18-25 year old groups I usually deal with but that is the majority of post secondary education is it not? Hyper links are OK as you can control the area acessed to some extent but to allow them to decide where they want to go to get more info usually leads to being distracted into other areas. It is too easy to "link off" into never-neverland. If time was no object they could be free to pursue information at whatever pace worked for them but in college time is an object!
