Thing #15 - Learning 2.0

As I have said before, it amazes me how fast technology is changing. After being out of high school only 12 years I have seen the rise of email, the Internet, and cell-phones. Email is already almost out of date. I really appreciated David Warlick's perspective. I value his experience as an educator and his desire to help educators and students move forward. Since the world my students live in is so different than the one I grew up in, I need to find new ways to relate to them. It will be a consistent growing to keep up with all the changes. The concept of web 2.0 and learning 2.0 is awesome. Why keep everything to yourself? With the technology available, amazing colloboration opportunities exist to keep us moving forward. It gives a whole new meaning to "standing on the shoulders of Giants."
