This article is about Web 2.0 from a students point of view. This student understands that the world is changing and that the way we learn is changing. The student then goes on to talk about online citizenship and how we all need to practice it. Each person is responsible for what they post on the internet. This person then goes on to say that the classroom four years from now will allow students to use resources they own, such as Ipods or cell phones. Four years from now every student will have a laptop. Not all students should be expected to blog or podcast. Every students talents are different. It goes on to talk about how students still need an environment to learn and interact. The classroom would be 20 minutes to show students what their assignment is and then they would access a educational social network.
It is interesting to read about a classroom of the future from a students perspective. I think students have a better grasp on how to use technology in the classroom than educators and administrators do. I especially enjoyed how this person put an emphasis on cyber-citizenry. That is an important aspect to think about as we evolved towards a more technological classroom.

I think that this is a great idea! Too often when we respond to anyone using the internet we don't think of the other person sitting behind the screen. I look forward reading more!
