Thing # 5 School 2.0

First of all, Wow! I was looking at the website and all the different technology that is being used in school now and it is overwhelming. School 2.0 means that the classroom is no longer limited, it is now enhanced by technology. With all the new technology that has been introduced, students will be able to learn more about the world. I think that one of the websites that I read said it all. "The new tools and processes of Web 2.0, such as blogs, social bookmarking sites, pod casting and RSS, enable individual, continual, and highly customized experiences through the creation of a personal learning environment. The PLE is responsible for connecting individuals to form a community of learners, where all contribute and collaborate in what amounts to a global discussion of ideas" For schools in the future, it means that teachers are going to have to find ways to keep their students up to date with technology. Schools will have more opportunities to teach outside of the classroom. One thing I want to add. It don't think that teachers should drift away from the hands-on activities. I feel that teachers should never fully rely on technology because technology can't replace teachers.
