So, I just finished another graduate class, and the professor wanted us to just try one more populare site for educators... that perhaps we had never tried before. So, I went to Wordle.net and gave it a shot. Pretty cool. Check out my wordle at:

Hi Adam! I'm also new to PLN. I saw your post in there and decided to check out your blog. I'm glad to see you are getting some experience with Wordle. I love that site! One of my favorites. I did a project this past year with my Kindergarten students using Wordle, making scrapbooks. The kids loved it, and had a lot of fun creating their pages. We stretched it out over the last semester. It was really cool to see their growth as I put their books together for them. I posted the directions on my blog: http://blog.tonastidings.org/2011/01/five-senses-of-winter.html if you want to check it out. It may give you some ideas with your students.
ReplyDeleteAnother cool site I like using with my students is: PicLits (http://www.piclits.com). It really helps them with their writing. The students select a picture and can either use the words that are on the page to drag onto the picture creating a mood or a story, or they can write their own message on the picture.
