Thing 5

          When going through the different articles describing Web 2.0 and School 2.0, I was a complete blank slate to the concepts. As I had never heard of School 2.0, I went through each of the resource links to gain some kind of understanding. What I gathered from the multiple links is that School 2.0 refers to enhancing the classroom by integrating many aspects of technology. When describing Web 2.0, the articles describe an ever-changing internet that once looked like computer codes and has now manifested itself into highly graphic, multi-functioning tool.

Just as the web has adapted from computer codes, the classroom should be able to adapt to the multiple aspects of technology we now have. The future of the classroom is what School 2.0 pertains to, as well as the multitude of possible changes that can be had in each classroom. Students now have the ability to work on group projects from the comfort of their home through online collaboration programs. Teachers can remind students of their homework through social media as well as use a variety of graphics and instructional technologies to enhance learning in the classroom. The classroom is no longer a teacher who is only obtainable during the specific time of class. School 2.0 creates a classroom that is available whenever getting on the internet.
