Thing #14

Using Wordle students can create "art" to review vocabulary words, practice spelling words, create a summary (of sorts) of text or to describe themselves. I created a Wordle using vocabulary from a plant unit. This application is very easy to use and user friendly. You do not have to create an account or sign in to use it. You can choose to save your work to a public gallery, and can save it as anonymous if you choose to.

I looked at TimeGlider which is a site that allows you to create timelines. This would be a great resource for history or social studies classes. However, you did have to create an account to use this, and the free version only allowed for 5 timelines. It seemed easy enough to create the timeline, but should have unlimited use if it were to be used in a classroom or instructional setting.
