Reflection: Fun with Text

For this reflection i played around on a couple sites.  Wordle and Tagxedo are sites that you can generate word clouds on.  I thought they were really fun and eazy to use.  These sites are great resources to use in the classroom.  I think at the begining of the year would be a great time to teach students how to use these sites.  It would be great because I could have all my students make a word cloud with any words or phrases that discribe who they are as a person. This would be a great way to get to know my students and also teach my students how to use a great site.  Word clouds can be useful for projects or reports, just a way to make the information a little bit more exciting.  I really enjoyed using these sites and plan on using them in my own classroom.

Here's a word cloud I made about myself. Enjoy!
