Thing 5

Schools of the future have such an amazing opportunity ahead of them with using Web 2.0.  New generations are changing things about social networking with social life and education purposes.  Incorporating Web 2.0 into the school systems is a genius idea.  The internet is used billions of times during the day for email purposes, homework, research, and much more.  Today's children need to know about Web 2.0 and how it can further them with education.  Educators can guide children with presentations, powerpoints, research generators, and new ways of learning beyond textbooks and lectures.  Children normally learn better when they are provided with hands on materials, why hold them back from becoming more technological advanced.  School 2.0 in my opinion, is a new and better opportunity to advance schools with technology based learning.  This will not only open the doors of learning for students, but for educators as well.  The world today is advancing at a fast pace, it is up to each educator to provide students with reality when it comes to learning things that will matter in their futures.
