While others chose to use the word cloud as their background image. Some inserted the word cloud into the layout,
Then they added it to Pic Collages they created using self-selected pictures from our blog. My 2nd graders were short on time (and somewhat keyboard challenged) so we brainstormed a word cloud to represent our year in GT together. Since we were using iPads, we couldn’t use Tagxedo to create a special shape (great idea, Susan!) but the students enjoyed it anyway.
I realized her idea would work perfectly with the Pic Collage and/or Canva project I planned for my students. Last week, Susan Prabulos blogged about using word clouds to reminisce about the year.
PICCOLLAGE IN THE CLASSROOM FREE
(Unfortunately, the latter one isn’t free – but well worth every penny!) Since we were using iPads in my class, my students had a bit different workflow than Tricia’s students. In April, Tricia Fugelstad blogged about using word clouds with self-portraits. On the web, there are plenty of word cloud generators such as Tagxedo and Wordle, and Thinglink has a web application as well. Great idea! If you are using iOS, you can use the ABCya Word Cloud app along with the Thinglink app. Fortunately, I network with many other people who can think outside the cloud.įor example, someone tweeted the other day about using Word Clouds with Thinglink. When I first learned about Word Clouds, for example, I thought they were fun but really couldn’t think of too many applications for their use. I admire creativity, but I am much better at borrowing other people’s ideas than I am at generating my own. I think we’ve already established that I have very little imagination.
