Thing 5: Web 2.0???

Before I read these perspectives I had never even really heard of the term Web 2.0. I read Web 2.0 A Guide for Teachers and Web 2.0 is Not About Version Numbers or Betas. Both of these discussed the importance of the web becoming bigger and better than ever. In the past, the web was just used for research. Now, the web is used to communicate and to educate! Web 2.0, to me, means a better community on the web that allows for connections and communication between people from around the world discussing and sharing beliefs and knowledge. Web 2.0 means so much for the future! Schools will be able to use the web to have students, parents, and teachers all connected on the web. It will create a better and more cohesive learning enviroment. Parents will be able to learn what is going on in the classroom, participate in discussions, and maybe even be able to see the final products of their child's hard work. Web 2.0 means an interactive learning enviroment unlike any other before!
