Thing 5! School 2.0!

     When I hear the term "School 2.0" I think of a newer way of learning, which in a sense could very well be the meaning of school 2.0. I feel like school 2.0 is a way of showing people there is more than one way to learn. Traditionally learning is thought of like children in a classroom listening to the teacher talk. But with Web 2.0 and School 2.0 I think it gives everyone a better idea of new ways to learn. With today's technology classrooms are much more advanced than they were ten to fifteen years ago. I think that the future for schools and learning in the classroom will be centered around technology. If you look in our grade school classrooms today you will see that almost every classroom has a few if not a whole set of computers. Schools are advancing with technology like Ipads, Tablets, and electronic books. I think the future of schools will be technology centered, which may not be a bad thing. Since people learn better at a younger age by introducing technology at the younger levels it may be easier for them to understand when newer technology is introduced when the become workers in our society. In the classroom school 2.0 will be the way we change our teaching methods. Instead of standing in front of the classroom talking to our students all day, we can interact with them through things like blogs and social networks. Using technolopgy in the classroom can heighten the students want to learn and help them be more interactive in the classroom. I personally am excited to see the future of technology in our school system.
