Wordle Again

Here is another Wordle creation. My students are going to love this!!

Wonderful Wordle

This week I learned about Wordle. I really love this program and I'm excited to use it in my classroom. I made a quick word cloud of quotes from Romeo and Juliet. I'm so excited to use Wordle with this unit. I think that I will try to do a different word cloud each day based on the events in the play we will be covering that day. Then the students can make predictions about how these words will come into play. This is a really exciting tool and I'm so glad that someone smart was able to develop it.

You Tube Videos

I've been looking at YouTube a lot lately because I've been scanning for any remotely educational videos I can use on a new project I have at school. Here are a few that I really like.

New Music Website

Thanks again to my Instructional Technology classes, I was able to find a new great website. I was able to spend a lot of time looking at http://www.last.fm/ today. I'm a big R.E.M. fan and so I loved looking at the older pictures and watching some of the newer videos.

I think I'll spend a lot of time on this website. So many times my students will tell me about a new band and now I can just come to this site and see exactly what they are talking about. I can read about the band and watch some of the videos from YouTube.
