To me, Web 2.0 is the only web I have ever known. From the time I was allowed to browse the internet it has been full of social networking sites, instant messaging, and blogs. However, it has evolved tremendously! The big thing when I was in middle school was "yahoo messenger". Everday when I got home from school I would log in and forget about my school work until my parents could pry me away. I wonder now how much was there to possibly talk about at 13 years old?!? But now facebook is the new and improved "yahoo messenger". Every young adult who has a social life has a facebook account, otherwise, they would not be able to keep up like everyone else (or so it feels that way).
I believe within the next 10 years every classroom will be completely technology based. Teachers will no longer have the option to incorporate technology...it will be the only option. I believe with children learning the skills early on that are needed in a technolgically fast paced world the inelligence of machines will continue to become more advanced with every generation.
School 2.0 will be a great adavantage to teachers because the learning will not stop in the classroom or even in the school. Learning will take place at home. School 2.0 will be able to reach children who are sick an unable to attend school. A teacher can create a podcast and allow her children to watch a lesson from their own home. I am excited for School 2.0, but I am sure before we know it there will be School 3.0 sneaking up on us!!
