Web 2.0 Tools

Our class has been learning to use Web 2.0 tools and how to use them as part of our learning.  These are some of the different tools we have used and the ways in which we have used them:


1.  Wordle  (click on the word to go to the site)

  • We have been learning to write character descriptions and used this tool as a form of brainstorming key words that would describe our character.  
  • We also used wordle to make Father's Day / Special Person cards - we stuck the wordles onto really fancy paper and wrote a description about the person inside - the people who received them loved them too!

2.  Build Your Wild Self  (click on the word to go to the site)
  • We had fun making 'wild creatures' and then using our creatures as a motivator for writing.  It was lots of fun dreaming up the special characteristics that our character had and many of us did some of our best writing because we had lots to actually write about.  Check out our home page for some of our published writing and if you get a chance, we'd love some feedback!
