School 2.0 is a revolution which is changing the way that teachers teach, students learn, and people interact. Most people think that school stays within the school building, but this is untrue especially with school 2.0. With new programs and technology being available to our students online for little to no cost, school can and should go everywhere with them. They can learn about anatomy and physiology on their iPads from the Kahn Academy app on their moms iPhone in the car on the way to Florida, or they can learn about grammar usage and mechanics from the kitchen table on the iPads at home while dinner is being prepared. The possibilities for education are endless with Web 2.0. It is nearly impossible to know about all the technology that is currently available, let alone guess what could come about in the future.
However, it is only human nature to speculate about the future and what each new technology could do to and for our students. Apps for the iPads that are becoming more and more prevalent in classrooms such as Crocodoc, Google Art Project, Kidblog, Quia, and many others are allowing our students to take their education to a whole new level that was never possible before. WIth endless possibilities for these apps, there are no limits on where education can go! School 2.0 is taking school out of the box!
You are definitely right about the possibilities being endless with technology! Such a great point! Things are changing everyday! The possibilities for education are endless with 2.0 and you definitely get that point across with you post! Great job!
