Web 2.0

Thing #5
What is school 2.0?
After watching endless videos and text I have come to the conclusion that computer stuff isn't going away. It's here to stay. God need to give us more hours in the day for this, or something is about to give. Web has taken away blackboards and textbooks. Information is easily available and communication with others is quicker and sites provides us places to check other out in our family, and our wireless family. We can access info of all kinds, useless and educational.
Schools of the future. Students still need to learn the basics of elementary school and the physical interaction with thier peers. Technology is going to allow individuals the opportunity to be as inquisitive as they want. The visual learners wil be able to see info and grasp better understanding.
Looking over perspectives, I read the Guide for Educators by S. Mclester mentions that students interact on the computer, making them active individuals. Therefore we need to enhance development by using global discussions. We as soon to be teachers need to remember to be open to learn, learn and learn some more. I also liked how D. Jakes put in perspective on how to take in all this web 2.0 stuff. Knowing technology and what it can provide we need to look at our resources, blogs, and digital storytelling and ponder if they are enrichment or essential tools for the students and revaluate our goal in teaching.
