Web 2.0 Tools

I decided to examine the site My Heritage. Basically this site allows you to create a family tree. You can upload photographs and information about every member of your family. This would be a great way for families to keep up with each other. I found the site to be very easy to use. In a matter of minutes I had created my "immediate family tree". I could definitely see this site being used in an upper grades classroom. I have asked 4th graders many times to create and draw their family trees to share with the class. Students could use my heritage to upload family photos and information. The teacher could allow the children to share their family tree with the class using the SmartBoard. This is definitely a site worth checking out!
