Wordle
This wordle would be used in my English II classroom as a quick way to get kids interested in reading the novel __A Long Way Gone; Memoirs of a Boy Soldier__ by Ishmael Beah. My hope is that when they see many words they have never seen before, it will intrigue them and encourage them to be excited about the upcoming read. -Hannah Saunders

Peggy's Wordle - We struggle to get the VISION for 1:1 and IMPACT understood in the community of stakeholders (and even to our faculty!). Here's a Wordle of our Impact Goals, priorities, and objectives: []

Carey's wordle: My application here is for the senior graduation project. When students have written their first drafts, they can check the overall focus of their papers by creating a wordle. Here is one I created using a paper written by one of my seniors last year. media type="custom" key="6513363"

Theda's Wordle, to check for diction

media type="custom" key="6514563"

Bobbi Moss This would be for an introduction to //Medea.// media type="custom" key="6514651"

Cathy Wray wordle for media center web page

Penzu
Peggy's Penzu: Early in the semester we could ask students to journal on Penzu ideas for graduation project topics and get feedback from their peers. https://penzu.com/p/431c7c75

Carey's: During the Beowulf unit, I ask students to apply their knowledge of the quest to a film of their choice. Penzu would be a great place to do this. I have created a journal entry that doesn't meet all the criteria on purpose.

Theda: In a 1:1 environment, I would use Penzu for my daily walk-in assignment. This is just my trial: https://penzu.com/p/199e6200

Ann: I could use Penzu to help students develop introductory paragraphs for their research papers. []

Bobbi Moss This would be used as an activity for students to complete after reading the different acts of //Medea//. https://penzu.com/p/ccb1cbf1

Cathy's penzu. This is a tool for students to practice understanding, reflecting upon and using BIG6 research steps to organize for problem solving. []

I think this is Peggy's "Read this book" voki

This is the link to my glog that I would use as an intro activity with my Yearbook class in the fall! http://hsaunders.glogster.com/Yearbook/

Theda's Glogster: I love the look of this tool. I think I would use if for my presentations of information to students and I would ask students to use it to share info with others. media type="custom" key="6514411"

This is just a beginning Glogster that I might use as a resource page for a workshop on Copyright/ Fair Use/ CC. media type="custom" key="6514445"
