Thing #5

School 2.0 means using all the technology available to education students.  There are so many new and exciting ways to teach children using the web.  Smart boards and clickers are great tools to use in the classroom.  They are quick and easy to use.  When I use in school we had overheads and projectors, it seemed to take forever to get set up for class.  Student/Educational networking is a good way for students in different areas of the world to communicate with other.  Teachers can use blogs to assign homework and post discussion questions. In the future, all students will carry laptops instead of books. Using paper and pencils will become a thing of the past.  Teachers will be able to podcast lessons from home.  Students may not even have to physically go to school, they will be able to stay at home and attend virtual school.
