My thoughts about Web 2.0 are positive. I appreciate that the internet has taken a direction that is pro-user and user friendly, especially in the area of educators. The future of education with regard to Web 2.0 is very encouraging because it can provide opportunities for students who are technologically wired, and also opportunities for those students who are afraid the push of one button and all is lost. It appears that those powers that be behind the creation of Web 2.0 and Teachers 2.0, are keeping those students and educators in mind who need a little more encouragement to branch out into the world of the web. I know for myself, I have had much more positive experiences with the web at this stage of its existence that I ever did before. I like technology - when it works - as a resource, and also to utilize it in the classroom to show our students all that the web can offer them besides games and pictures.
I look forward to further explore the difference facets the web has especially with regard to exceptional students become more comfortable with all that the web encompasses and how far they are willing to dive into it. I know how much I appreciate the changes the web masters have made in making the web a kinder and gentle environment to navigate, so I can only imagine how my exceptional students would enjoy stretching themselves into areas they did not thing were made for them.
