Thing #5

I think that web 2.0 and school 2.0 are not just our future, I believe it's already began to take place.  When reading about 2.0, the only thing that stays in my head is the question, "How would our community even be able to survive if we lived in the Little House on the Prairie days?" The world has definitely changed over time, and we are dependent on technology.  For instance, just yesterday my cousin was at my house and was depressed mainly the whole time because he forgot his Nintendo DS at home.  If it was Laura Ingles at my house, she would have made up a game to play.  In my opinion school 2.0 does not completely mean what web 2.0 does.  I believe it just means technology.  That's it, just one word...technology.  Schools of the future will be solely dependent on technology.  I believe that classrooms will be virtual online instead of actually in a classroom.  Homework assignments will be submitted through email or even text message.  Technology will also be too easily accessed for students to cheat, and not fully understand the material.  For example, the Spell Check.  Technology may or may not be a wise thing for the future.  I think it can be a step backwards.  What do you think?
