Thing #5

"School 2 .0 WOW!" What a plethora of information just sitting around patiently waiting to be accessed. To me school 2 .0 is a great way to enhance a classroom and grab the ever-waning interest of students. The technology dependence within our everyday lives has created a need for more artificial interaction. I believe if you can get students to interact by any means from cell phones to games, as a teacher this is our future path to success. Please don't misunderstand me. I am not suggesting technology should take over the classroom and take our place; however, it should be used as an incentive to get the students from point A to point B. Email is already in use in some classrooms as an avenue to reach parents with school announcements and daily assignments. So, as teachers we should embrace technology for someday holographic images of Thomas Jefferson or Johann Sebastian Bach may visit our classroom and tell the students about there worldly achievements.
