| Web 2.0 tools allow for learning well beyond the school day. |
There is much that teachers may do to enrich the educational lives of students. Currently, the majority of students have access to the Internet well beyond the school day. Access may include an increasing number of e-readers, smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc. Today’s students are no longer tethered to their classrooms or living rooms. Even without an omnipresent Internet connection, the capabilities offered by these devices offer students options for learning. Students may utilize “downtime” while waiting for school to begin, review, supplement, learn new material, or make up classwork from a day’s absence.
The first link below tells of an Arizona school district which places an Internet router on a school bus. The second link takes you to the Khan Academy website which contains a wealth of free learning resources and materials.
