Thing #5

From some of the perspectives I have read, I do not agree with schools fully relying on technology.  Yes, I believe that technology is very useful, but I do not think that it should be used for every single thing.  For example, I think that students could use computers to do research for assignments, like for a report or for a paper, but I don't believe students should use ipads to answer questions on a test.  I have more in mind that in the near future that public school students will be required to have their own ipad for school to do all kinds of assignments. I am just concerned that our society is going to turn so advanced that  whenever an ipad breaks and all documents are lost, the student will earn a bad grade because a bad accident occured. Technology sometimes can have disadvantages. That's why I would not fully rely on it. School 2.0, I think, could be interesting and useful, but it should be limited in some ways. It could be useful for teachers. Teachers could use School 2.0 to record their grades and if they need to send their records to the office, they can send through the computer. This would help schools that have over a thousand students. The students' grades can be calculated faster and correctly through the technology. For another example, students can use their class time to research for assignments. Students could also use iclickers to answer questions that are posted on a smartboard. School 2.0, to me, means improvement in the technology that is used in schools. I think that it could be benifical to the schools.
