Thing #5

With the world advancing, technologically speaking, on a day by day basis as it is today, we shouldn't be far from reaching a time where everything is electronic and computer driven. Not only industrial, but also in education. Since I've graduated high school and barely knew anything about powerpoint, kids are beginning to make powerpoints now at the age of 6. With that in mind, you can imagine the rate at which technology is changing in the world. A new thing I am beginning to learn about is Web 2.0. After viewing some of the web 2.0 websites and programs, I am finding this new ordeal to be a vital key in future educational learning! Being able to watch someone live using one of the web 2.0 tools could be very beneficial to teachers as well as students. If someone were absent because they were sick and had access to a computer somehow to pull up the web 2.0 would give them access to the daily agenda and lessons taught. This would help tremendously in the aspect of those who miss school all the time and just expect to hop right back into things when the lessons they missed were key to learning the ones that come in the future. The only question I have for things as advanced as such would be to ask if this would benefit society or not as far as attendance-wise. Being that one could just skip out whenever they would like and still have the lesson. Which in the end, one of the lesson's learned it being somewhere on time such as for a job..
