Web 2.0
I look to my left there's a girl checking her facebook I look to my right there is a guy skyping his girlfriend who is seriously less than 10 yards away. Web 2.0 has its ups and its downs, I believe that there is something really good here but at the same time it is taking away some of the fun in life. But we are not here to talk about that lets talk about how it will help the future of the classroom. A "web 2.0" classroom is something simply amazing. To start every desk would have there own personal computer where each student would have there own login. I believe that for lessons interactive videos and pictures will be able to be shown on the computer screen. Skype could be used internationally with some other school in some other country to video chat. Instead of having handouts they would be sent over the computer by doing this it would cause not only the classroom but also the teacher to be much more organized. Another object that would help would be to give each student a laptop or tablet of some kind for take home work. To have a classroom like this would greatly advance the students learning skills due to the fact that they would be more engaged with something that they can relate to. On the other hand your school would have to have a very large sum of funds for this to happen. More and more classrooms are turning to technology as terrible as it sounds it seems that sooner or later the book will become obsolete. Everything is done now across the world wide web and soon enough students will be taking there finals and doing there science projects on and across the web. It seems that the more i get older the more the younger minds loose there attention span, by using technology as a classroom and teaching technique it will greatly advance the younger generation and the minds of the future.

Blogging??
I never thought i would see the day that i would be sitting in front of a computer actually typing a blog. Well seeing as it is a class requirement i might as well make the most out of this thing. For those of you that will most likely read this you are all probably in class with me so hopefully we can all get to know each other more. Ill be the guy most likely wearing a baseball hat. I am looking forward to a fun semester and who knows maybe ill actually get into this blogging thing.
