Every teacher should be an advocate for School 2.0. School 2.0 is a new way of looking at education. People tend to think of education as something that happens in a classroom, but School 2.0 breaks learning out of the classroom and brings it into the world. Learning can take place anywhere, using a variety of different tools, including emerging technology.
The wonderful thing about School 2.0 and Web 2.0 is that resources are available to everyone. Like Richard MacManus said in his article "Web 2.0 if Not About Version Numbers or Betas," Web 2.0 allows even "non-technical people" to use technology to connect to others and enhance their learning. As a non-technical person, I am always amazed by how user-friendly technology has become.
I can only imagine how School 2.0 will change education in the future. It will open up a whole new world for students everywhere. Any classroom with an internet connection can contact other classrooms from around the world, access the most current resources and learn from experts that are thousands of miles away. And as technology becomes more accessible and learning becomes more efficient, teachers will be able to give each student that help, attention and challenge that they need.
