Tool #3

 I really liked Big Huge Labs! I think it would be fun for students to be able to create their own images or posters. This site could be a great outlet for students to express themselves on their own blog pages!


I also really enjoyed Wordle! I think it would be very interesting to see what students could come up with to describe themselves.
Wordle: What a teacher should be

I think the tools learned in lesson #3 could be used to extend lessons covered in class.Students could be asked to show their understanding of a vocabulary word by creating a motivational poster I as did above. Or students could demonstrate their understanding of a science lesson teaching about food webs by using Wordle to list animals that co-exist within a specific biome. The possibilities are endless!

    You make a great suggestion with the vocabulary word and motivational poster. There is a new word cloud website called tagxedo.com (sorry, cannot link in the comments box) that makes elaborate pictures from the words. There is a free version and a paid version. Check out the Gallery when you visit - maybe you can make pictures of some of the vocabulary words.

    Hey Jessica-- I agree. I think the Big Huge Labs would be a great motivation for the students, especially for the writing curriculum--a great way to publish. Love your blog, Girlfriend.
