This Grok2 image reflects the reality educators face today. Traditional lecture competes with an always-on digital ecosystem of information and tools.

• Traditional pedagogy, including evolved andragogy, competes with online sources
• Online sources cater to the speed and cadence preferred by each student
• Students build and rely on their own Personal Learning Networks

[From my dissertation study of 201 college students]
Students should be encouraged to draw not only from approved academic sources, but also from their existing personal learning networks. When students integrate insights from their own learning networks they experience better classroom outcomes.
