Heinzen's Honey Bees are Web 2.0 Denizens

Web 2.0 sites are websites that promote information sharing, user-centered design, and collaboration on the web.  Typically, Web 2.0 sites help users create new products or information, rather than simply consuming information.  Our first graders are delving into this world of creation on the website!

Mrs. Heinzen's class has used two different Web 2.0 tools recently to enhance her classroom.  Her students created a class diamante poem using Read Write Think's interactive diamante poem tool.  Her students also created individual online stories and printed them using Scholastic's Story Starter tool. They were so excited to share their writings with each other and others in our school.

We are so proud of our digital natives as they safely explore how the web can help them become better students!
