The Ted Talk gave me a different perspective on teaching young people in an online environment. That said, the statement reminded me of the Paulo Freire banking system in educational institution, where teachers state what a student is learning (following curriculum) because the student does not have any prior knowledge about anything, Sugata Mitra's "A School in the Cloud." demonstrated that students should work on a problem individually, in groups (personally like heterogeneous groups) to solve problems.
Students like going online to browse on the internet about things that are of interest to them. So, I believe that using the internet in an educational way like Mitra stated, may very well help students reach and exceed their academic goals. From this course, if educational tools are presented to student in the way that Brigette taught us, our students will make gains as well. Through proper scaffolding and guided instruction gain in education will be demonstrated.
I really think that by developing proper lesson plans that are engaging with technology can help our students excel because the are education themselves and are able to access information in real time.

Doing school work online lets our students have real time interactions with their peers and students are able to collaborate on class assignments from anywhere. Working online may help those students who are not able to attend school complete their work at home, which will allow them to keep up with their class assignment or homework.
I also believe, as Freire stated, that as an educator, I need to remain humble in regards to the limitation of my own knowledge and that I should incorporate my students' knowledge in regards to their internet skills.
