Thing #5

I think that web 2.0 is a very overwhelming. It is very intimidating to me. Web2.0 is being up wiki's, blogging and even the idea of school 2.0. All of these things are new to me and I am not comfortable with them at all. I had never created a blog until this graduate class. I did some with myspace in years past but not must at all. I finally canceld the account. I have participated in wiki's but only through graduate school, and I had gotten my feet a little wet with teacher pop but also only becasue of graduate school. I think that web 2.0 is pushing for more technoly but at the same time I feel as if it will allow for more creativity to be brought into the classroom.

As far as schools and the future of schools with web 2.0 I think that it is important (although sad) to remeber that with all other things the schools that have the most money will be able to implement some of the technolyg sooner than schools that are not as fortunate. I think that it is very sad to think of the schools that are smaller and that do not have the funds to educate children in the field of technolgy. Technolgy is the future, if we are to educate the children for the future does this not mean to educate them with and through the uses of technology.
