School 2.0 means to me having classes being more digital. I could see schools turning into becoming more virtual. Maybe one day what we know as getting up in the morning and going to school/ work would be different. Instead of use leaving our homes we would get dressed to go to the computer and attend a class were you see a teacher. And since web 2.0 could potentially connect people the teacher could be in China, and the classmates would be from France, Scotland or Egypt. That would be a neat way for students to have an across the border education. I would like my students to have maybe virtual interactions with other students but not so much of where everything is on the computer. The children wouldnt be able to build social skills.
I know this is off the subject but this post reminds me of the cconductor by the name of Eric Whitacre. Whitacre formed a virtual choir where singers came from all across the world and sound on their webcams. It was AMAZING!!! I do urge you guys to youtube it. I really feel like that is a good example of web 2.0.
Eric Whitacre's production is one of my favorites. It helps me relax in the evening, and I have shared it with some who need some inner peace. Can't wait for his next creation!
