23 Things - #2 - part 2

My initial thought about Web 2.0 is that it's a great way to conduct business and to educate students. It's overwhelming, but I think this class will help me to sort through all that is there. The greatest parts are the interactive qualities, the online capabilities (storage, access, information, etc.), and the unlimited ways to be creative.

I believe that we will continue to see the role of Web 2.0 increase in 21st Century teaching and learning. Rather than investing tons of money into textbooks that become outdated quickly, we can access our information online. Also, students seem very motivated to use technology, so it helps in that way. Another thing, is that students can learn at their own pace and access assignments online. I think the ways to use this in education are limitless. This encourages us to be creative.
