Making mistakes in new style in learning

Looking in different resources, I found that today's teachers, really try to use "cyberspace", but unfortunately, they do the same things like using any known teaching resources. For example, if geography teacher wants to prepare a profile for lesson in Pacific Islands, he/she usually does this: -start to search different knowledge base for some good issue for Pacific Islands; -make profile for that lesson, according to the result of searching; -present the students that profile. The lesson might look little bit different: -teacher recommends students IP address where to start searching; -isolates desired information; -makes profile for Pacific Islands. Unfortunately, even using knowledge base (no matter whether that is CD-ROM or Net), teachers make mistake in both cases.Also, development of new networking centered curriculum is nonsense, because knowledge bases or any sort of data available on the Net,are ever changing.
