Thing #5

School 2.0, to me, means that the environment of learning is changing.  With so much new technology, and with how quickly new technology is developed, there are so many ways for students and teachers to find and use different resources.  These resources can be accessed virtually anywhere.  Learning is not confined to the classroom.  In the future, technology will be even more groundbreaking and there will be even more resources for students and teachers.  One of the perspectives I read on Web 2.0 was from the Guide for Educators.  It talked about how the Internet is now second nature to kids.  Many children today have easy access to a computer and the Internet and can pick up how to use its many features much quicker than most adults can.  If educators use concepts that are already familiar to students, then they will stay tuned in to a lesson and be excited to learn.
