Thing #5

Web 2.0 enhances creativty and learning by making things more simple. Technology has swept the world by storm, and this generation is all about information from technology. Schools have online classes, distance learning, and computers in every classroom with internet access. Businesses have video sharing, networking sites and group blogs. I tunes, google, myspace, facebook are all popular among today's youth. There is no doubt about it technology is an important part of society today.

How does all this affect me? Well as a member of society, I find it interesting that I can learn about anything or talk to anyone at the click of a button. As a future educator it is essentail that I incoperate technology into the classroom. There are wonderful videos and activities online that I can present to my students. Technology captivates the attention of so many young people, I can utilize technology to my advantage help students learn to otherwise may not care about learning. Not to mention that I can communicate with parents and other teachers through web 2.0. Classroom 2.0 is an excellent way to reach other teachers to collaborate. There is so much information available, it is time to take advantage how small the world has really become.
