School 2.0 is a lot like web 2.0 but for the educational setting. It takes into account that learning happens everywhere people interact with each other or interact with information. It takes into consideration that the more open and available communication is between people and the more accessible information is to them they easier it will for them to gain knowledge.
School 2.0 adds on to the already growing new dimension of school. Technology has already permanently altered the way we teach children and the way children learn. Children today now learn from podcasts, webquests, websites, etc. They communicate through email, blogs, chats, social networking pages, etc. Teachers no suddenly have a wealth of information accessible to them at any hour, from anywhere and can show their students the world without ever leaving the classroom. They no longer are limited to the knowledge and advice offered from their community they can reach out and communicate with teachers and educators across the world. Our limitations and boundaries are being stretched and in some cases almost eliminated as to what we have access too. We are becoming a global community of learners and educators.
