Thing 5

Before this blog, I had no idea what Web 2.0 was. After looking at articles about it, I realized how this website could help with teaching in the classroom. With Web 2.0, there are different applications that can be used such as presentation tools to upgrade how PowerPoint are created, video tools to put videos into a presentation, mobile tools for pod casting, media sharing and blogging,and community tools such as social networking where teachers can communicate with their students. Web 2.0 is the future of education because everything has to do with technology now and the more we integrate it into the education system, the better it will be for our students. This technology will allow us as teachers to take our lessons to the next level. The students will be able to learn better by creating better presentations for them in the classroom. School 2.0 means a lot to me because we as educators have to be able to keep up with society and technology. According to the article Teacher 2.0, teachers deal more with technology than the average adult, which is good since we have to teach the students. Being able to be involved with this technology is crucial towards our student's future.
