I think Web 2.0 is really a great thing. It helps get everyone involved, even for students who are not that interested in school. I feel like this is a way to get all of your students participating. Especially as a young child, who doesn't love to work on technology? After all, I remember the Compaq computer running Windows 95 I had when I was 5 and 6 years old. I loved that thing. I didn't have Internet or even used it until I was almost 10 years old.
Web 2.0 is a wonderful tool to help get students involved. This has made assignments more interactive than a class discussion or a worksheet out of a workbook. With all of the different learning styles of students, it will be possible to interest everyone and they will be able to learn to the best of their abilities.
Schools of the future will eventually be paperless thanks to Web 2.0. With global warming upon us, we need all of the trees available to help the convert carbon dioxide that we exhale to the oxygen that we need to inhale. Imagine your students pretending to be an atom of oxygen. Through a website or program, (hypothetical as far as I know) they could be taken in through a person's nose, go down into their lungs and be dispersed into the blood cells. Bringing back the carbon dioxide to the lungs, they would be exhaled and taken in by the nearest tree. This would be a great science lesson about parts of the plant cell and/or functions of the body.
