The thing that strikes me most about School 2.0 is how connected everything really is. There are connections between everything... students, their cell phones, classroom computers, teachers, parents, home computers, administrators, etc. The model works on getting EVERYONE (even the community) involved in a child's education, with the thought that it is an investment in EVERYONE'S future.
I think one of the best things is the access that students have outside of school... on their home computer and handheld devices. No more excuses for forgetting about the homework or not knowing they were failing.
It's hard to say what i would change because this is all pretty different from what we have now. We are definitely heading in this direction but this is an idealized model. I think it will be a while before we can get more students and parents (and some teachers) this involved. So as far as what to change, that is a really difficult call.
Overall it seems like a great plan, and i hope that we can someday get to that point!

You are right about everyone working together and things being connected. It opens up a whole new way of thinking and a huge supply of resources at our fingertips. Even since I started teaching, things have changed so much. It will be exciting to see how of world changes in the next 10 years!
