Thing #5: Web 2.0

School 2.0 to me means growth of technology in the classroom.  The amount of technology that is used in today's classrooms is monumental compared to 10 years ago when I was in school.  We had a single computer lab with no internet access.  Today students are given iPads and MacBooks to use in the classroom that have internet access.  This allows for students to be able to do research for assignments and write papers at the same time all while sitting at their desk at school.  I love the idea of being able to use technology to enhance the material that my students will learn.  I also think that implementing technology in the class will make it easier for the students to want to learn.
With technology growing at such a rapid pace, schools in the future will have greater access to greater technology.  Students will enjoy going to class because it will all be interactive technologies, not just internet surfing and computers.
