That's right. This post is 100% about technology. What I can do with it, how I feel about it, and how it influences me. Well, let's see... I'm typing on my laptop, I have an app pulled up on my iPad next to me helping me stay on task, and I have my iPhone on another web page. I'm always using new apps to help me stay on task, make my life easier, and inform me of future uses in my classroom.
School 2.0 is extremely important in my personal life. There are so many resources out there to help me in school and further my technological knowledge that I would be silly to not take advantage of the advances. There are so many ways to use technology in the classroom, and kids are loving it! Students are grasping technology in the classroom and using it to their full advantages. Between PowerPoint, iClickers, Elmo Projectors, SmartBoards and so many more, students have all the resources they need at the tips of their fingers. How, as a future educator, could I ignore that?
The future of education has nothing to do but grow and blossom with the use of technology. Like I said, students have all the resources they need, but so do teachers! Schools, if they embrace Web 2.0, should be so advanced that students are more interested and intrigued in the classroom. This would not only raise interest levels, but test scores and overall results. The future of our educated country could be relying on Web 2.0, you never know!

Please enlighten me with your apps that keep you on task, Miss Kaila. I need something that will do that for me! :)
