Thing 5

After reviewing some of the information on Web 2.0 and School 2.0 I have come to the conclusion that there is an endless world to the things we can access and use in the classroom and at home. School 2.0 is the extended version of the Web 2.0 but more along the lines of how we can use the web in the classroom. I think that technology has become so advanced over the last 10 years that I can only imagine what possibilities are instore in 10 more. I see children having desk tops that are computer screens and instead of textbooks they will have apps for each one on their screen. I think that technology is amazing but that I am weary of being dependant on it. What happens when the power goes out or the servers are down? Will our future generation know how to pull out a pen and paper? Or will things like textbooks, notebooks, and Crayola markers be the 8 tracks of the future?
