5611 Thing 5

School 2.0, for me, is not just a catch phrase. It embodies living education because it is powered by both the students and the educators. It continues outside of the classroom in the homes of students. The great thing is that by pushing the content to a Web 2.0 style and interface, is that it is reaching students where they live digitally. For modern educators to succeed with these students, they must adapt to these new technologies. Students in the 21st century are much more fast paced and they want it now, with no waiting. That is one of the beauties and pitfalls of the School 2.0 concept. It is instant and often times without filters. Educators need to develop strategies to pass on to students on how to use the web to do research and use it as a educational resource.
