Thing 5~

Web 2.0 is changing virtually everything about people use the internet (haha, see what I did there?). But seriously, the web was designed to store and transfer information using text. Now it's through images, videos, blogs, social media, reaching people around the world. Information is being processed, transferred, and learned in an entirely new way. People communicate differently, research differently, understand differently because of how the internet has changed. Important to note though is what Steve Hargadon said, is that now, people can find people with similar interests and collaborate, and therefor, innovate more than ever. Now they can help each other and create new things faster, with people from all over the world, for people all over the world. And the Horizons Report said it best when they discussed how all of this access for information can be used so well by teachers. The internet and emerging technology is essential to the success of education and teachers need to be ensuring that they are putting it into their curriculum. School 2.0 means the revolution in education, how the internet and technology will shape and enhance how students learn and how teachers communicate in every way. It will change everything and help students in countless ways. It has all of the tools for teachers to reach students in new levels, to encourage and excite them about learning like never before. All teachers have to do is take the time to learn how to do it~
