Thing 5

Upon reading the posted articles for school 2.0, it appears this new collaborative style of learning is a must, if we're to stay in competition with the global community. This ever growing technological sector of learning appears to utilize time wisely. Interactive and collaborative learning seems to be the most sure way to stimulate different modalities. Web 2.0 is narrowing the gap between nations and so far it seems to be a progressive direction for education to be moving. Change is one constant in life and I feel the more we are able to grow and adapt, the better off we are. However, keeping up can be a challenge but it can also bring fruitful rewards. My only concern is lower income and rural communities, that may not have access to certain technologies needed to contribute to an ever changing global community. I realize this concern won't cease web 2.0 learning but I can only hope funding and support will be made available for all children to be represented.
