Web 2.0 & Pay Attention!!!

Until recently I didn’t know what “Web 2.0” meant. I now understand its meaning and why it is important in the classroom. Today’s world has become a digital one; therefore, it is not hard to understand why we need to use more technology in the classroom. Today’s student is more technological inclined than any other previous generation. We, as teachers, should use every method available to us to engage and enrich our students; including technology. I love the example used in the Pay Attention video about using cell phones. Even the widely banned cell phone can be used to learn in the classroom. We need to open our eyes to the many possibilities technology offers!
