First Day, April 3rd

Today we learned about Web2.0. I was surprised to learn that webpages were not always as interactive as they are now. Websites were essentially a piece of paper on the computer screen that people could look at, but could not interact with, so people couldn't click a "like" button or comment on things. I feel like being able to interact with people on websites is really useful, especially for teachers. I think that it would be very useful to be able to look up websites where teachers could post lesson plans and get feedback from other teachers. Hannah said that she found a website like that when we were exploring webpages today, and it sounded really helpful. I want to teach kindergarten, so creating lesson plans that teach the students new information without overwhelming them is something I'm worried about doing effectively. I think the websites where teachers can share lesson plans and ideas for improvement are a great thing that came out of Web2.0. I also found a website that had interactive games and printable worksheets for grades K-8, which I feel is another really important teaching method that came out of Web2.0.
