Thing #5

What is web 2.0 and what does it mean for schools in the future?  Well for me web 2.0 is a scary new world.  I have to go into the internet and pick and choose what I want to use and what is important.  It also means that I will have a much easier time doing research, meeting people, and figuring out what other educators are doing.  Web 2.0 seems to be the internet itself.  It also means that I can publish on the web.  For example, create web pages, blogs, and tweets.  I need to be careful about what I put out there and also about what I find.  This is a whole new frontier for me.  I need to take my time discovering what is out there.  I think that in the future most classes will be taught using the internet.  This has to be one of the most important tools I have as a teacher. I need to learn how to use it wisely.
