In Technology, we spend a lot of time talking about what the internet is, how to maneuver around while on it, and being safe. I decided to create flashcards based on some of what we talk about. I used Quizlet and found it incredibly easy. The challenge was in embedding it in my blog. For some reason, I had a number of issues getting Quizlet to confirm my account. Then it wouldn't let me paste HTML code. I was able to copy but not paste. I think I have it figured out though (hopefully) below:

For HP Math, I chose to make a word cloud using Tagxedo. This was easy and fun for me. I can see it having some creative applications for my Technology students. Kids could create one and embed it in their website. I think they'd love it!
I love your the way you connected the web terminology to an image students understand (house, bridge, etc.). The math word cloud is great - it gave me the idea of either introducing different math units with a word cloud of the new vocab or making a word cloud as a class at the end of a unit to review the vocab.
ReplyDeleteI like your Tagxedo for your math students. At first I thought it was a pretty limited tool, but it's a great visual representation of what you have (or will be) studying. It's fun to create as a class or have students make their own to print or embed on their own websites.
