Meet my little friend Smiley, he will tell you just about my experience with creating a Voki. I certainly look forward to using this again!!! :-)
When my students first come to my class and everyone is trying to get to know one another, using this tool would allow them to describe themselves using imagery and words all in one tool. Students could save and share their word clouds and compare the words that may appear often among classmates.
This is really amazing! When I saw the first pictures created with wordle I thought they were cool but the visual appeal that this site adds to it is just incredible. Now there's no way that students won't look at your creations. Thanks Madelyn
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having the students come up with words to describe themselves and maybe you can add their peers too. They can start with write their classmates names including themselves, then describe themselves using a few words and then a few words that describes that classmates. This will help them to get to know each other and create a bond.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of students using wordle, not only they can use the words to describe themselves, they can also make it visual by adding a shape.
