Schools finally getting that technology upgrade

Don't exactly know where and how this up in tech at schools is going, but it's getting pretty sick. The world is making remarkable bounds in the field of technology but our schools are essentially as they were 20-30 years ago. Kids need to learn to be savvy with our new world in school. Isn't that what school is for? To prepare children for the world outside their parents' bubbles? Burlington High School are taking the first steps to comply with this goal. The web 2.0 class are helping students become part of  a personalized learning social network (something like that, its a mouthful I know). With this new form of interlinking networks students can take the initiative in their own learning. Students around the school, state, country, or even world can connect share ideas help with research topics, and just discuss ideas using the new growing social network. Those who don't take school seriously are going to fail either way, but this gives boundless opportunities for students reach out and find out what they want to do with their lives. This is a great way for kids to open their eyes to the world and leave their ignorance behind. What better way to learn about current conflicts and their affect than just going online and talking to people or other kids in those areas and seeing how they feel about it. Information and numbers are powerful, so the collective can overcome the tyrant. They only have the power we give them. So horay for technologay!
