Thing #5

Web 2.0 is our current internet... a read and write internet. This combined with school/education gives us School 2.0 and it is making for awesome resource tool for teachers, parents, and students alike. A teacher can now create a blog for her students and parents to access at home- they can ask questions, see upcoming events, and see their progress! This communication and information could have taken days before when you factor in setting up a meeting time, waiting for contacts to me made, and then actually sitting down together. This website or blog etc... not only allows the students or parents to just READ the information (web 1.0) but they can respond, comment, or ask questions (web 2.0).
