Thing #5

To me school 2.0 means that as educators it is our responsibility to have our students use the web in ways that will teach them the skills they need to be successful in today's society. School 2.0 I think are sites that will be used by educators to help us teach our students about the technology available. This is a movement to make educators aware of the importance of technology.

I think in the future schools will have to have a computer for each student in all grades. I think our world is going to a paperless world. In order for our students to succeed in a paperless world, they need to be taught in a paperless world.

I watched the atomic learning video about 2.0 tools. I found it very interesting that the web started around the early 1990's, and that during that time many people did not use it. The video stated that the web started as being web 1.0. I agree with the video that the Internet is rapidly growing.

I read the New Literacies: Enrichment or Essential. I thought this article was very interesting. It made you think about what we are teaching children. Are we really enriching them or is it essential in today's society? I personally think technology is essential and is becoming more essential by the minute.
