Thing #5

I believe that Web 2.0 means that anyone and everyone can share their ideas and information with the world now. You can type anything into google and are guaranteed tons of results. This is not necessarily a good or bad thing. It all depends on how one takes the information. Because anyone can make a website or post answers to questions never assume that it is a fact. This is why children get in trouble for using wikepedia; because anyone can add or correct the information on the site which makes it unreliable. I believe that because of the ease of technology and that the cost to have a computer and Internet in a house is decreasing that in the future students will no longer bring a pencil and paper to class but instead bring their laptop, ipad, or who know what else. It is our job as educators to keep track of this technology and make sure it is used in the proper way for the classroom.
