Thing 14
Wordle was a cool site that I think kids would like. I used it a little bit myself and had a lot of fun. Can't figure out how to embed my creation, but I'm going to keep playing with it to figure it out. Using Wordle could be a neat way to replace the 'all about me' activities we use in the beginning of a school year to learn more about our students. It would be neat, too, to let them create a 'wordle' describing their feelings about a particular subject (like math) in the beginning of a year, and again at the end of a year...maybe they'd feel more competent??? I like the power of the written word, anyway, and think this is a creative site to get kids thinking about themselves. I also found some neat vocab activities on Quizlet...good review of basic concepts from a variety of subjects.

You should be able to embed just like you did the shelfari or your images. Did you get some code to paste in your page?
ReplyDeleteI could add like a widget, but I thought maybe it was supposed to be in the midst of the text. Actually, I did embed some...had trouble with the slide show from RockYou. It added like a widget, but not within the blog post, so it didn't move with the post.
