Thing #5

The Web 2.0 means there is a more functional internet available for me and my students to view and participate in.  With either a little self motivation or a little help, there are many experiences waiting to happen in Web 2.0.  There is a lot of potential for schools and teachers to connect with each other and their students just by learning all you can.  As information continues to become available, teachers need to be ready to change and/or adapt.  We need to get our students familiar with the educational opportunities that are there, not just the games and such that are on the Internet.  Internet sponsors are making it easier and more functional to expand the classroom beyond the walls of the school building.
