RM Honeycomb (www.honeycombtools.com), RM Educational Software

RM Honeycomb allows you to incorporate web 2.0 technology into your curriculum with an integrated set of online creativity and collaboration tools that work through the Internet.

By encompassing tools which make use of web 2.0 technology, a user’s work is brought together into their personal online space. It is the future tool for student collaboration, including wikis, blogs and widgets and security for teacher as well as parental peace of mind.

RM Honeycomb is about student creativity and collaborative learning. This is why it has been designed to serve specific education purposes and is suitable for students of all ages and abilities. The tools within RM Honeycomb foster independent learning and encourages students to select the best tool for the task at hand, rather than making the tool the task, e.g. you and I might be given the same task and I might choose to do a wiki, you might choose to do a blog, creating independent thinkers and learners.

Intuitive and easy to use, RM Honeycomb encourages the community of users which might exist within a class, a school or across the whole Internet. Users have counters which show how many
people are visiting their site, and how many other users are referencing their materials. This sense of audience helps to encourage students to think about the standard of their work. Teachers are able to assign tasks, give feedback on students’ work, organize projects and class groups and create shared resources all online.
