     I believe Web 2.0 can be very important and useful for the future of technology.  Almost everyone nowadays is on social media, ranging from all ages.  The fact that Web 2.0 offers the ability to allow sharing, remixing and re-purposing information on the Web among others.  Web 2.0 requires an updated computer with all of the new sources provided.  Instead of the Britannica Online, it displays Wikipedia.  Everything is updated and more high-tech, involving more blogs, search engines, and email websites.
     One interesting tool used in Web 2.0 that might be useful for a classroom is Edmodo.  All throughout high school, my teachers used Edmodo to display information and homework for the class. It was an easy way to communicate with my teachers.  The teachers could post surveys online for us to take which was also a convenient tool.
     Edmodo is very useful as well when students did not write down the assignment.  Teachers would post the homework after school just in case a student forgot to write it down.  Edmodo also has an option that can send a student text or email notifications so a student does not always have to check the site.  The link to the website is here: https://www.edmodo.com/
     The concept mapping activity can be very useful when trying to make them in the future.  It was easy to use once I got the hang of it, and was even easier to read and understand.  There was not really anything that I disliked about the activity.  If I do decide to stick to the education and teaching field/career, then this concept mapping activity can be useful to my students, and will be easy for them to understand.
