Thing #5 Web and School 2.0

School 2.0 means that educators need to begin to prepare students for a word where the web has no limits. Where its not really necessary to know how to write a formal letter, because all you will ever send is emails. Anything you ever need to know how to do, you can simply google it and find a credible source. The thinking behind School 2.0 is to teach our students all the possibilities of the web so that they will be able to enter the world as a value to an employer.

Schools in the future may begin to stress more on the applications of different software. Schools already have many students taking state assessments on the computers and are integrating computers into every classroom. Teachers will begin to collaborate any maybe even deliver lessons over YouTube for their students and other students. The possibilities are really endless with School 2.0 and even the large steps I see coming for School 2.0 will just be baby steps when we look at how far this concept takes us.

  1. I enjoyed your thoughts on how tomorrows classroom will most likely look entirely different than today's. I believe that technology will fall short of what the kids will be able to do with it, and it's due to the simple fact that the teachers will get older but the children will stay the same age. We become antiquated and without professional development become stagnate to the technology that is available.
