Thing 5 (I am getting back on track)

As I examined the content in the lesson I find myself with a much more knowledgeable thought on web 2.0 and school 2.0.  At first when we talked about web 2.0 I did not know what we were talking about because the terminology was unknown to me.  As a teacher though I find I absolutely love the thought of web 2.0.  I hope that school 2.0 will also become more of a trend in the future.  Students learn things everyday, all day, no matter where they are.  Giving students tools and equipping them to make the most of their learning regardless of their environment makes sense to me.  To me school 2.0 would be a world where we encourage and promote students learning no matter what their environment is.  I think allowing children to discuss and show other students things they have learned in other environments and bring it back to school is a novel idea.  I t drives home the very essence of real world application to learning.  As a new teacher I find myself jumping on the web 2.0 band wagon.  I have found several great resources on the sites we were supposed to go to that will improve my geography class.
