I read the Web 2.0: A Guide for Teachers. I found it interesting and true that it stated that things such as libraries and classrooms have been replaced by the web. I also believe that even though we have a lot of technology today, there will be much more to come. I believe this could be a good thing as well as a bad thing. Having instant access is nice, but classroom interaction is still needed.
I also read New Literacies: Enrichment or Essential?. I thought the writer produced a lot of interesting questions. I did like how the writer stated that students already use blogging and other interactive web tools and asked how teachers can use this interest to enhance the students writing skills and such.
School 2.0, to me, means that schooling would be almost completely web-based. As I said earlier, I believe it is a good thing to keep up with the times, but physical interaction is still needed. I believe schools could be more web-based, but need to keep the instructional time. Teachers have good knowledge that they can and will share with their students.

I actually worry about libraries being replaced by the web. While it's great to have all the information you could need at your fingertips, it's still a good idea to open a book once in while. They are still great resources!
