"School 2.0" means yo me, a more interactive way of learning. Just being in the classroom sitting down listening to the teacher talk is not sufficient anymore. With the help of the Internet, students really have the entire world at their fingertips. Teachers can take advantage of this to have more creative and fun ways of instruction that can be even more effective than just a regular lecture. It is hard to get students to get students' attention and keep their attention. I guess when I think of School 2.0 I think of D2L. It is an online web page in which many students have to put posts and comment on classmate's posts as well. In there student's give input over a specific topic given by the instructor, but students also get to see what all their classmates think. Professors also put up their note on it, so that can students can just print them off. I think that something like that could be incorporated into the classroom, but in a form of a blog which is free. It is hard to really say what something like that really means, because it includes so many things.
I think this technology will be more and more included into the classroom as time goes on. These new generations along with us, are living in a more technologically driven society in which we demand to have information now. This phenomenon will definitely influence children, so we must be able to know enough about new technologies in order to keep up and be able to think of creative ways in which we can adapt all of this in the classroom to make learning more interesting.
