Well, I decided to post the entry about thing 4 closer to mid-term, since its an ongoing sort of thing.
School 2.0 means that teachers have to completely rethink gathering and receiving information, teaching their students, and how the web effects his or her class at large. With Web 2.0 there are so many opportunities to expand upon information learned in class, with a YouTube video or an informative podcast. But it is also a new aspect of our students lives. We must be aware of them on the web, not only to stop such things as cyber bullying but also because we're out there too and we can never get away from our jobs as role-model for our students.
We're probably going to end up taking tests in those little dome things like in Star Trek. Geekyness aside, this surge of the web and electronics means that it will become ever more engrained in our students and therefore our classes will have to adapt. We'll have to teach such things as "Which websites should be used in reports" and "formatting your paper".
