I think Web 2.0 are things that a teacher should bring into the classroom. We are growing more and more as a visually and technologically advanced culture, so why not modify our teaching style to better communicate and relate to this culture? It will give them the tools to compete successfully and survive in an advancing world. I believe that technology in the classroom, School 2.0, has opened more doors to educational opportunities than even before. More multicultural experiences can be gained through worldwide interactions on the web. Students who have special needs have the added benefit of assistive/adaptive technology to receive a quality education. The students who would not benefit, however, are those school districts whose funds are severely limited and cannot afford computers and internet access. Hopefully, though, this will be remedied soon, because the affordability of Web 2.0 Tools is so amazing that most of them are FREE. Also, schools who cannot afford to go on field trips will be able to take virtual tours of museums, etc. Multiple learning styles can also be accommodated by School 2.0 Tools.
The schools of the future will be even more advanced as they are now. Technology is advancing at rapid speeds and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. Because reflection is encouraged, improvements are then undertaken, and new tools of technology are invented to out-perform the previous version. We can hope that it's all for the best!
