School 2.0...Technology is amazing. We have now figured out how to reverse aging in mice...not just the 'look of aging' but actual 'age'. http://gu.com/p/2ydje
So our abilities have become limitless. I'm torn on this subject, I feel like we as humans are becoming our own Gods. Let the strong survive, the world is already overly populated as it is...etc. But when it came to my family and friends I would go to any length to let them live longer. So I'm hypocritical in this aspect....and could discuss the issue for hours.
Getting back to School 2.0,
Since technology has no limits, education should have no limits.

"Technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based
learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role
in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a
versatile learning tool that could change how we demonstrate concepts,
assign projects and assess progress." - Sarah Kessler.
Scholastic did some research that showed kids were more interested in reading ebooks than actual text books. We all know children learn best when they are enjoying the experience.
