      I agree with this. I looked at many cites to create word clouds and found tagxedo to have the most customization options.
  • It is school friendly, due to the fact that it does not require a user log-in.

      This was important to me because I didn't want the girls in my course to feel overwhelmed with having to create too many accounts in the beginning of the course.

  • Agency and activity are required to thrive in a semi-autonomous learning environment mainly distributed on the Cloud, outside the scope of institutional educational support. It was clear from the research that learners have their own ideas on what type of activities would suit them, their life styles and their confidence levels, and the majority chose to be involved in aggregating, ‘remixing’ and sharing of information, without getting involved in the creative production stage. However, the majority of participants believed that the creative production of digital artifacts by some learners, and the discussions that followed on the network, inspired them in the development of ideas and in their learning.
  • it gave people the support they needed to feel comfortable and connected to other participants.
  • y using micro-blogging tools and discussion forums, inspired and motivated people into creating.

  • have the students introduce themselves by their "medieval vocational personality."
  •  
    What medieval vocational personality are you? I am a Dreamer-Minstrel: You can always see the "Silver Lining" to every dark and dreary cloud. Look at the bright side is your motto and understanding why everything happens for the best is your goal. You are the positive optimist of the world who provides the hope for all humankind. There is nothing so terrible that you can not find some good within it. On the positive side, you are spontaneous, charismatic, idealistic and empathic. On the negative side, you may be a sentimental dreamer who is emotionally (academically?)impractical. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

    According to the test I am also a Dreamer-Minstrel. Interesting task. As part of my courses I have students take real personality tests and we do some group activities with them. Where the topic falls in the sequence of the course is always toward the end, I've thought about making it early in the course because they really get to know themselves and eachother during the group activities, but I haven't done it because I've always felt that they needed more of a foundation to really understand the use of the test (measurement, validity/reliability, standardization, etc.)
