Thing #5

Web 2.0 refers to how to internet/websites have changed. It is used to describe the new level of accessibility that the internet provides to its users. Social media and blogging have changed the way the internet is used. Anyone can start up a blog without having a background in web design. The takeover of Facebook and Twitter into how we connect to one another is also a part of Web 2.0.

School 2.0 refers to the varying opinions of modern schools and education should approach and use new and ever-changing technology with today's students. It refers to school reforms, with regard to technology. There is not just one widely accepted School 2.0 belief/plan/attitude. Each person holds a different view of what education should look like in relation to all of the new technologies and in how our students can keep up with "the global job market". However, I believe that it is vitally important for every new teacher to decide where they stand and to take action to see their vision of School 2.0 come into reality.
