Thing 8 - Wordle

I LOVE Wordle.  I have already used this with my class when they did their Famous American Project.  They copied their report into Wordle and ended up with an awesome addition to their learning station.  I could also see students putting in their papers to work on their word choice. 

For my example I entered my flipped classroom blog & put in my url.  What came out is this:


Thing 8 Gliffy

I created a gliffy on a redesign of our school webpage.  I think I could use this with students if they were going to try designing buildings, or using geometry.  Although I think google sketch-up is easier for kids to use.  I might also use it for writing brainstorming.  Below is a screenshot of my gliffy.

I'd like to see more links to teacher resources that they want parents to know more about...including their classroom websites.
