Thing #5 (What we saw as a threat can improve our teaching!)

School 2.0 Means that I as an educator have the access to the web in so many different forms: flickr, twitter, google, blogger, updates of my schedule that goes to my phone and other staff's phones. This opens up the can of worms about technology being a distraction in the classroom.

I don't think it is, I think that texting is more convenient when something is urgent but can not disrupt a meeting with the loud ringtone of the cell phone. Texting as said in the Administrators Texting for Success: Six Ideas
could help instead of harm education abilities.

Schools of the future can have full access to communicate in any way and there will be limitations with the students since we don't promote texting the test answers in class to other students. But just as email has helped the teacher send a reminder for homework or helped send documents that the class went over that day to a student who was sick, other forms of technology can also help in the schools of our future!
