      I love using this site with my students. I have used it as a bellringer by having students try to figure out the theme of the wordle when they come into class, exit slip to review what students learned in a lesson, or have students create their own as part of an assignment/project!

      Good idea! We used it last year to describe what we learned about pumpkins. We also used it to create a design for our school shirts!
  • ordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out,

    We've used this site along with Google Translate to create our shirts and cake design for our ELL Family Nights...they turned out GREAT! We heard so many good comments on the design.

      Apps for the iPad that would be useful for ELLs.
  • Educational Apps We continue to test out apps that are both fun and educationally useful for ELLs.  There are several good ones.  Flipboard allows you to customize and browse the web in a magazine layout that is easy to scan and fun to read. There are also many good word game applications. I like the traditional Boggle and Scrabble.  There are also lots of flashcard apps, such as Index Card, that help students learn study skills. Apps like Stack the States and Star Walk help with content area studies.

    "Using Technology to Motivate Middle School Students Middle school students are motivated by experiential learning activities. Effective technology-based activities require students to do more than look up information; they require students to "do" something with it."

Discussion:Transfer Cassette Tape to Computer - wikiHow - 0 views

  • The method described in this article is really only good for mono cassettes, i.e. spoken word, live recordings done with a boom box, etc. where the quality of the tape already matches the lower quality of the recording method. The only real way to do this right is to buy a) a high quality tape deck with stereo RCA outputs, b) a nice PC soundcard with stereo inputs, and c) a soundcard and/or audio recording program that includes noise reduction (specifically those designed for transfers from LP or cassette to digital).

    In case you ever need to transfer media from one format to another. There are also units that transfer vinyl to MP3s
