Thing #5

My reactions and thoughts regarding the articles I chose.
Davis Jakes discusses in his article the technological advances that should be used for educational purposed. Myspace and Facebook social networks are already used widely by young individuals so why not use the same idea for educational purposes. I agree which is why i would set up blogs similar to the myspace/facebook phenomena because the last years have shown that they work.

What does "School 2.0" mean to you?
"School 2.0" is the means for students not only to learn in a traditional classroom setting but within the their own home and community. It is an extention of "web 2.0" which is based on social (or student/educational) networking and the read and write web. To be the "school 2.0" is another tool I can utilize for student based learning. There are so many tools for student based learning (software and free tools online) that can help students individually learn in the best suited way.
What does it mean for schools of the future?
I am not sure how to answer this question but the movement is always forward. Schools in the future will use more and more technology because it has shown in the past to help and foster learning.
