I can see that web 2.0 tools can be of great use for educators, not only in the classroom, but also on a larger scale, like connecting an entire district.
If we can bring these technologies into the classroom setting, perhaps we can begin to bridge the gap that prompts the student question, "How will learning this help me in the future?". These evolving technologies ARE already a part of their lives and their futures - we can't ignore that. Education needs to acknowledge and include this part of their world.
I totally agree with you. If we don't catch up we will be left behind...as you correctly said "These evolving technologies ARE already a part of the students' lives and their futures - we can't ignore that!"
ReplyDeleteThis is such an important part of students' lives, and part of their dna for learning. Good luck with this great journey!
