Thing #2- Image Generators 2 (11.5 Things)

I created this in Wordle using the article "You are Brilliant, and the Earth is Hiring." I can definitely use this program in class. As a pre-reading exercise, students can use this Wordle to make predictions about the article. While reading, these common key words might help students with their annotations/highlighting. After reading, students can use this to write a summary for the article. These words will remind the students of the main ideas. I love this program!

Glogster is such a cool program! Using this program instead of creating the tradition posters would have so many advantages. Particularly, students can upload images, sounds, text... Also, students or teachers could save these "posters" in a file on the computer. Lasts a lot longer than the old school poster boards! Obviously the students would have to project their posters for others to view. Easy enough though.




Animoto is such a great program and I know I will use this with my students! This would be an awesome alternative to the dull project. Love it!

Bookr seems like a fun way to spice up a book talk, a presentation, or even introducing a new unit. Good find!
