The perspective found in “A Guide for Educators” is that the internet has become a major part over a large amount of people’s daily lives all over the world. It is said that the web has replaced libraries, classrooms, bookstores, yellow pages, and telephones. The source says the internet does not plan to stop there. Web 2.0 is decribed as an continuance to red/write applications to be provided in newer , user-friendly ways. Using Web 2.0 every user is allowed to create content. Web 2.0 has transformed the internet from passive to active. The article discusses a survey taken that show 55 % of young adults, ages 12-17, used social sites for a wide variety of reasons. The article, Preparing students for the digital age is more of a podcast. It stresses the importance of Web 2.0 and how it needs to be used in the class room. The site also incorporate some basic everyday life events or topics into education.
To me Web 2.0 is the way of the future. It is paving the road of progress. If we want to keep current in the world and keep up with our students, then Web 2.0 is a necessity. For schools, Web 2.0 means more computer-based education classes. Does this mean that schools could possible go to fully online? There are several college universities that are already that way. Could this be a possibility for public education? Is it an option in homeschooling? What are your thoughts on the idea?
