READWRITETHINK Resource

A Web 2.0 tool that I have never used before is the READWRITETHINK Printing Press. This is an interactive tool that helps you create a newspaper, brochure, flyer, or booklet. After researching this tool, I realized it is very easy and simple to use. You simply click on the type of document desired, choose the layout, and you let the printing begin. As the principal of my school, I would definitely encourage all the staff to introduce this tool to the students. Because Writing is one of our focus subjects, and this tool can be adapted to all grade levels, everyone can use it to increase students’ writing skills. I would begin with the 4th grade teachers and the Academic Team and have them familiarize themselves with this tool, have their students use it in the classroom, and then have the team introduce the READTHINKWRITE Printing Press to the rest of the staff during one of the vertical planning sessions. I believe the students would be engaged and would surely improve their language and writing skills. Check it out!
