Thing #5

     To me School 2.0 sounds pretty fancy! Don't get me wrong, it is high-tech, but its is not something where you have to be a high class individual to get into. If i were to give school 2.0 a definiton it  would go a little something like this:

   "...the expasion of technology that is managable by people of all levels of education, into the lives of teachers, students, families, and community members, that directly relates to the successful functioning of the 21st Century Classroom."                                                          

                                                               -Ashton Kearns (always wanted to see my name here!)

In other words, it is the accomplishment of getting students and parents Actively Engaged in the classroom world.

     Obviously, the web is expanding more and more each day, and is a foreshadow of what is to come in our classrooms. Hopefully School 2.0 makes learning easier for students (and parents), but gives them challenging achievements to help them grow as Web 2.0 participants. I really see a great future in the classroom. In my school we never had smart boards or anything of the sort. So, to see it being common in classrooms now, only makes my mind wonder about what other extravagant technologies are coming to apease the struggle of getting the school community to be active.
