From the quantitative research methods, a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was chosen for the study. The study included 36 5th-grade students studying at a public school in Istanbul. Research data were collected online using the Environmental Knowledge Test, Environmental Literacy Scale, and Attitude Scale Towards Web 2.0 assets. As a result of the study, it was observed that the academic achievement and environmental literacy rates of the experimental group increased, and their attitudes toward Web 2.0 tools changed positively. Expectations hold that these outcomes shall constitute meaningful beneficence to existing material regarding both the distance education process and educational solutions in the digitalized world and the creation of environmental awareness in children.
