Tool #3

Image generators and mashups. I am happy to say that I have worked on Wordle before thanks to Mrs. Mary Tavares, Art teacher extroidinaire at HBE. I liked how she displayed the vocabulary associated with the different art projects according to grades so I asked her how to do it and she helped get me to use a fun and creative way to display the vocabulary 2nd graders needed to learn in Social Studies and Science per each 9 weeks!

So, now I tried Worditout. I love it! Writing a sentence to go with key words of what I am describing is funnn. What you will see on my blog is how I plan students to use Worditout to tell me what they know of a certain topic. I plan on using it for career day so that after they hear from a variety of speakers, can they tell me what they do by creating a Worditout page, for example.

Next, Bookr. Bookr was surprisingly easy to create and add to the blog page. Things seem to get easier and stress level is decreasing. I feel that the schools should have a computer science teacher though as I am perplexed at how I am to manage technology class for those students who have earned computer time and those who are not finished with an assignment and forsee their needs at the same time as I will be assisting with tech questions. Same old story as how to dedicate time to everybody...I'll be pulled in many more directions now I see.
