Thing # 5
Hmmmm.....lots of food for thought. I read several of the Web 2.0 articles, but my favorite was "New Literacies: Enrichment or Essential?" My answer to the question would be "essential". In this new age of technology, the opportunities for creativity are endless. Kids today have been around computers their entire lives, so they are not afraid of technology. If I were in the classroom, I would definitely jump in with both feet and use Web 2.0 as much as possible. The stories you could create in English class! It is overwhelming in many respects to think of every thing that is out there in the web to learn and use. I do believe that the use of Web 2.0 in schools is a very important, and necessary, teaching tool.

I certainly agree with you that Web 2.0 and all the great tools are essential in today's classrooms because as you said the students have been exposed to computers all their lives. Thank you also for you comment on my page, if there is anything I can do let me know.
