A New Way To Teach Using Wordle - Edudemic | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From edudemic.com - December 8, 2012 10:33 PM
There's a new way to teach using wordle. It involves actually withholding a bit of information and making students think a bit harder. What fun!

If you are looking for a way to use word clouds in your classroom here is one idea. The post asks you to look at a list of quotations and at the word cloud (pictured above) and consider "which is more powerful."

Tanya Taylor's curator insight, May 27, 2017 5:19 AM

Wordle is a tool for generating 'word clouds' from any text that you provide.  The cloud allows words that appear frequently in the source text to take prominence within the 'cloud'.  Wordle has a myriad of classroom applications and is extremely easy to use.  It also allows users to change fonts, layouts and colour schemes and you can also manipulate your text to withhold certain words to challenge students to find the gaps in the wordle.

How To Know If You're Correctly Integrating Technology - Edudemic | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From edudemic.com - December 9, 2012 7:35 PM

Are you looking for a resource that might help you determine if you are "correctly integrating technlogy" in your classroom? If so, you may want to check out the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) put out by the Arizona K-12 Center at Northern Arizone University.

"...the TIM is designedto assist schools and districts in evaluating the level of technology integration in classrooms and to provide teachers with models of how technology can be integrated throughout instruction in meaningful ways.”

Briefly, the TIM "illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaning learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic< and goal directed."

The full version of the matrix also contains some lesson plans and a short video of the lesson.

Technology - I chose this resource because it addresses a real concern regarding implementing technology in the classroom.  Many teachers use technology, but are we really using it in a way that increases student engagement and academic achievement.  I hope to share this resource with administration to show them things to look for when observing technology in the classroom.
