Word Clouds in the Classroom


This blog is a personal review of my educational technology class, EDT 620. This class was taken in the fall of 2014 along with Action Research and Teaching Children with Exceptionalities. In EDT 620, I learned many ways to incorporate technology in the classroom and was given numerous tools for my future classroom. 

This is a Wordle that described me at the beginning of the semester. Wordles can be used for many things. They can be used to describe something in a fun way. Wordles could also be used to see how something has changed since the Wordle was made. With my Wordle, I am able to see what has changed in my life from the beginning to the end of the semester. A Wordle can also be used in the classroom as an ice breaker. Students can describe themselves easily with a Wordle.
