Thing 5:

"School 2.0" is basically the entire point of this class. We are also experiencing it in the other classes we are taking, by use of D2L. "School 2.0", to me, means learning on a whole new level by teaching using technology, sometimes even outside the classroom. I think schools of the future will increasingly use more and more technology. I mean we already have homeschooling available online. What is next? I think "School 2.0" will allow teachers to better modify their lessons and mold them to address the various learning styles in their classrooms. "Web 2.0:  A Guide for Educators" confirmed my thoughts. The Internet is constantly growing and changing. More and more people are using it. The Web has become second nature to many kids. The Web has also become part of daily life for most of them. The Horizon Report (2008) mentions:  "Web 2.0 and social networking tools are increasingly being adopted for educational use," and I have to agree. That article also addresses the increasing amount of various portable devices which eases the transition into "School 2.0".
