Week 2 - Wordle

This week we played with Wordle. Wordle is an online tool that allows you to make word clouds. Teachers may be able to use this to make mini word walls for a subject area. They may also use it as we did in class as a culmination to an ice breaker.

We had piece of paper taped to our back, and classmates had to write words that described us on that piece of paper. We entered the words into the Wordle tool and it gave us a word cloud of words describing us. It allows you to tweak the word cloud's layout, and fonts. The results are beautiful and I am thinking up different ways to use this because the results were so attractive.

Total 10!

First Post

This is the first post, really just to test how my template looks. Its hard to see what a template looks like with no content. I might have to put another post to really test it out. I kind of like the idea of the magazine view, but with no content I don't know what that looks like.

I'm just typing to fill up space. I'm kind of hungry, I don't know what I want to eat, I think we're supposed to eat bbq tonight, don't really want bbq but whatever. I have sooooo much homework due. I can't wait until ED 401 is over. Online is cool, online accelerated, not so much. I'll be glad when its out of the way then the last half the semester will be easy peasy.

I'll see how this looks now, hopefully its long enough to tell. I'll put in some nonesense just in case.

That should be enough. Iuhi sounds kind of Polynesian....just saying.
