All of the linked articles reassured me that technology is not going anywhere; if anything, we are becoming more and more dependent on it with reference education. I would be lost with my Powerschool, Gradebook, and the almighty Google. This year marks the first year of Clarksville Academy's 1 to 1 computer program. Being a teacher of a language whose primary sources are over 2,000 years old, this was a frightening idea. To my surprise even the Classics are being digitalized and there are amazing resources on the internet. School 2.0 is my (work in progress) reality. Blogs, wikis, RSS feeds are all things that even a so-called "dead" language can be enhanced by. With any subject, the ability and necessity of communicating, rather it be teacher to student or student to student, is the best feature about School 2.0. As for future- I am happy I am a lifelong learner; otherwise, I would be left in the dust.
