I finally solved this mistery! I was always wondering, how do people make these colorful word clouds? I have my own now. In kindergarten I would use
Wordle to create "word clouds" with my students to write a poem about their families, about friendship, about a favorite toy, and also to make greeting cards for mother day. I would also use it in science to write about each one of the five senses, or the life cycle of butterflies.
The time I spent "playing" with
Voki was definitely worth. I have something new and fun to create with my students. I was thinking they can create a story like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr., Eric Carle. My students can make their own "character", then put them together as a class' story.
BigHugeLabs is fun and I really think my kindergarteners will be amazed creating their own puzzles and stamps.
I was asked by one of my district's Tech leaders to consider teaching a workshop. Wow! that's huge for me. I have to practice more in order to be able to teach, but I know I can do it!
Students can use word clouds as a way to brainstorm ideas instead of only using the web.
ReplyDeleteI love Wordle. It is great to use in the classroom. I have found it beneficial in the English/Language Arts classroom. I hope you are able to use Wordle and Voki in the classroom this year!
