So much to talk about...

Wordle_Obama

Above is a Wordle of President Obama's speech entitled: "21st Century Schools for a 21st Century Economy."  If you're not familiar with Wordle it is a web application that turns text into the word cloud you see above.  The words most often used are the largest in the word cloud.   Take a look at the words above....Do you think the largest words are the most important?

We have so much to talk about and so much to share.  The21stCenturyTeacher.com is a place for us to share our thoughts and experiences.

I used Wordle for the first time yesterday and loved it. I have incorporated it into a lesson plan on the States. We will be copying a State fact sheet into Wordle and I think it should really excite the student.

I used Wordle for book reports. We didn't have some "paint" program for putting a picture on or behind the Wordle (behind as in transparent), and one of my students figured out how to do that with Microsoft Word, so I had him make a "how to" podcast about it. I have it on my wiki. If anyone is interested in seeing it I can post the url here.
