Thing #5

I found that most of the perspectives from the readings on Web 2.0 are quite similar. It seems that many of the writers feel as if we are going into a informational technology with the way websites, blogs, social media, etc. are being utilized. We as teachers must adjust to this new wave of technology because our students will grow up only knowing it as one way. Instant gratification! I grew up with chalkboards and whiteboards. Now, we have Smartboards with major equipment and software. We are constantly evolving and changing in the ways of technology, and it is very important that we remain abreast as educators. Our students will quickly pass us if we do not.
