Thing 5

I chose to take a look at the Horizons Report and Teachers 2.0. What I liked about the Horizons is that it gives a lot of information about technology and how it is increasing for people of all ages. Technology is something that is always improving and now it has become a focal point in the schools at all levels. The Teachers 2.0 was a really neat podcast. I have never used a podcast and now that I know what it can do I am interested to see what I will be able to do with it in the future. I like that there was a host who brought different guests on to discuss a specific topic together. It is important for teachers from all over to discuss different ideas to help one another out in the classroom. There is always room for improvement and always more for us as future teachers/current teachers to learn. To me, I think that "School 2.0" means more technology and better things for students to benefit from. It sounds like the schools will be really focusing on what technology can do for them and the learning environment. Schools in the future I think will be using way more technology that what we do now. I also feel that in the future the technology will be so advanced and not have all of the "glitches" that we have now. All of the technology that we use now in the classroom will be more improved and advanced for students to benefit from in all aspects of learning.
