    * Name of the site: Wordle * URL: http://www.wordle.net/ * Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: As the resource in Module 3 explained, this site allows you to create a word cloud by cutting and pasting text. * Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): This was truly easy and worked on my Mac. Very simple to use.

    Name of the site: Wordle: a word cloud generating site Brief explanation of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: By accessing the Wordle site, participants can create a word cloud from the text I have provided via e-mail. The participants will be able to create a personal word cloud that will be shared with the group as a warm-up (pre-training) activity. By providing the site, participants will engage in generative learning that will be used as a means of collaboration. Brief explanation of why this site is better than others: I had not used a word cloud creation site prior to beginning this project, but found Wordle easy to access and use. I like that there are sample clouds to view prior to creating, but also found the site easy to navigate if participants are anxious and just want to begin creating. I also selected this type of pre-training to assist with motivating participants with something that can be easily integrated into their own classroom.
  • Angela Finley on 18 Jul 10
     
    On this site, the users are able to create word clouds to assist students with learning difficult concepts. The user simply copies and pastes the passage into the box, and the image is created for him. What are considered unimportant words, such as "the" and "and," are removed from the displayed work of art. I chose this site because it is really simple to use and free. Additionally, it was mentioned in the class video, and my curiosity led me to the site.
  • Regina Wright on 19 Jul 10
     
    This site would be a really good presentation to use in the Pre-Training of the workshop because the goal is to stress certain key words of importance.
  • Erin Mitchell on 09 Jan 11
     
    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: If the pre-training is intended as more of a convincing factor then Wordle can be used to exhibit testimonials and phrases that illustrate the importance of the topic you are sharing. The visuals give meaning to the words you are speaking by various colors that can be used and even sizes. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): Extremely easy to use and easy to share! I have used this before as a warm-up activity for my AP students so I think it is great.
  • Brenda Young on 14 Jan 11
     
    You can create word clouds using Wordle. Use different fonts, colors, and shapes to emphasize key concepts. Easy to use and visually appealing.
  • donna carroll on 15 Jan 11
     
    *Wordle http://www.wordle.net/ This site will allow me to have key words on the screen as the particiapnts enter the room. This site will allow me to make a word cloud, something that all the participants are familiar with becasue they use them with their students already. The font , sizes, and backgrounds can be changed to match the presrntaion theme. * I looked at another word clud generation site and this one offered offered more font and color styles and was easier to use. This site would also allow you to use a website URL to create a Word Clound where the other only allowed text.
  • Guillermina Viruet on 16 Jan 11
     
    Wordle is a free online application used to generate clouds of words that can be given different visual formats, from any text chosen by the user. A simple, easier and motivating tool for pre-training.
  • Lori Oren on 17 Jan 11
     
    Wordle is a program for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
  • Stephen Raymond on 13 Apr 11
     
    Takes user provided text, i.e. list of vocabulary words or a passage from a book, and creates a word cloud, highlighting significant words and provides a visual representation. Utilizing differing font sizes and colors this application site was chosen for its ease of use and the liklihood of focusing the learner on the key words/points of a lesson.
  • Kat Crawford on 16 Apr 11
     
    This site is a great graphic organizer for kids. It is visually stimulating and kids like the fact that their creations are original. I would have teachers use Wordle to get kids engaged with dance vocabulary.
  • Wanda Ardoin-Bailey on 12 Jul 11
     
    Wordle is a site for generating word clouds. It can be used to introduce a topic, brainstorm ideas, or check for understanding. I have used the site before, and it allows students to become more involved in their work. I have also used Wordle to build synergy in groups. Some students, in the past, have created their own word clouds by using their inventive, artistic talents without the use of the software.
  • Monica Loadholt on 18 Jul 11
     
    With Wordle, a person can paste in the text they want to create a word cloud from and click "Go" to create it. The user has control over the fonts, colors, and shapes the word cloud takes. Wordle could be used to create a word cloud to peak participant interest in the topic of the workshop. For instance, I might choose to create a word cloud using text that describes what Web 2.0 is. Sharing that word cloud before my workshop would give my workshop participants a preview of what they will be learning about.  This site is easy to use and has received numerous positive reviews.

    pre-training can happen with word clouds
  • Kevin Steele on 16 Jan 12
     
    This site allows you to create your own word clouds. This is a great way to get learners to engage using their own vocabulary terms for their lessons. This may even be a great way for the instructor to display vocabulary in the classroom.
  • Joshua Sherman on 11 Jul 12
     
    Wordle would be an effective pre-training tool. The web site allows the user to input text and generate a word cloud representing the key words within the text.
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    This site allows you to create word clouds, as words are entered more and more the larger they become. This is valuable when you are trying to emphasize important key words in a lesson or lecture. It is extremely user friendly and can be applied to all content areas and grade levels. This can be used for an introduction or cumulatively over a period of time for reference. 
  • Tiffany Harrell on 15 Jul 12
     
    Word Clouds will allow for providing prior exposure to vocabulary in the presentation that participants may be unfamiliar with. I chose this website over other word cloud creating sites because of its capabilities to change its fonts, colors, and layout while highlighting the frequently used words in the text you provide. They also provide the ability to print, save, or share the word cloud images created.
  • Lisa Durff on 14 Oct 12
     
    Description: Creates wordclouds that emphasize concepts and has advanced editing capabilities. Why better: It's free (several offer free trials only)
  • LeAnn Morris on 13 Jul 13
     
    * Wordle is a "word cloud" generator from text that you provide giving greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. The clouds can be tweaked with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes, and the images can either be printed out or saved to the Wordle gallery to share with others online. Wordle can be used to introduce key vocabulary for a lesson or unit providing a visual of important terminology. * I found Wordle to be better than other "word cloud" websites I looked at because it is simple to use and there are many excellent examples created by others that are provided for ideas.
  • jcastanos on 07 Oct 14
     
    o Wordle provides already established wordles or word maps around numerous topics. In addition, users can create their own customized wordles to demonstrate they have key understanding of a particular concept. To enhance generative learning, not only can students try to make sense of the concept but also work with others to compare wordless and discover other ways of viewing concepts, characters, books, and just about any topic being discussed. o Wordle provides an easy way to create wordles and instantly change format, colors, fonts, and look and feel.

    Xtranormal is a website that allows individuals to make a movie just by texting. Xtranormal will be a used to present the objectives of the presentation. The animation will allow the learners to view a visual with audio/text (present two types of learning).
  • Anne Shaw on 14 Jul 10
     
    Assignment, Module 3 - Xtranormal.com is a web-based presentation tool that allows the user to create a movie from text.  The site claims that, "if you can type, you can make movies."  Users are provided with 3D characters that are brought to life through adding content to their voices.  It uses a drag-and-drop animation system of editing.  Another advantage is you can follow this site from FaceBook or on Twitter.  One disadvantage is the recommended configuration is limited to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista.
  • Sarah Irish on 14 Jul 10
     
    Xtranormal was one of the featured websites in the programs for Module 3. It is a very easy to use website to create videos. I used it to create the directions for the pre-training activity. In order to create a video you simply type in your script, select your character, background, camera angles, and character movements. This text to speech website is an example of generative learning because it simplifies the expectations for the participants.
  • Regina Wright on 19 Jul 10
     
    For the presentation section of the workshop, the instructor could use text and create an animation using avitars to make the lesson interesting to the learners.
  • Erin Mitchell on 09 Jan 11
     
    Brief description of what it allows you to do and how it can be used for essential or generative learning: Allows you to create an animation presentation by inputting a script with directional movements. This can be used as an introduction tool of a segment presentation. It provides a visual animation with sound and text possibilities. Brief explanation of why you found this site to be better than others you found (e.g., more effective, creates better products, easier to use, and so on): It can be limiting using the free version, but awesome for foreign languages. My students loved it and could make their presentations unique and creative.
  • Wanda Ardoin-Bailey on 12 Jul 11
     
    Xtranormal is a movie-making tool that allows the user to create movies with little experience. It permits prerecorded features as well as user inventive frames. Using this tool in my presentations will move my students to a deeper understanding beyond PowerPoint presentations.
  • Joshua Sherman on 11 Jul 12
     
    Just as with Go Animate, Xtranormal is applicable to the essential and generative learning processes. Xtranormal allows a user to organize and integrate what he/she has learned into a short animated cartoon. Xtranormal allows users to create fully animated video cartoons to represent learned materials. Videos on Xtranormal are easily created, stored, and shared.
  • Heather Rogers on 12 Jul 12
     
    This site allows you to create short animated videos about any content. These videos allow information to be relayed in a different way. This multimedia tool is user friendly and can be used with any topic. 
  • Tiffany Harrell on 15 Jul 12
     
    This website allows you to choose an avatar and design a 3D animated presentation of the text provided. This will be a great added feature to add visuals to what I have to share for my presentation. In my classroom, this multimedia tool would inspire student creativity, meet student learning needs who may be uncomfortable speaking in front of others.

    Mind42 is a browser based online mind mapping application. With Mind42 mindmapping tools are no longer needed, you can manage ideas alone, or work collaboratively
  • Shane Snyder on 11 Oct 10
     
    The mind42 site offers a free online tool for creating graphic organizers / mind maps similar to those created by webspiration. However, mind42 provides excellent file export functionality saving as .jpg, .png, .pdf, and other file formats. Also of interest are collapsible / expandable branches that could facilitate a gradual introduction of topics in a live lesson, as well as the ability to include notes, Web links, and a variety of icons in each node as needed. Of note, however, is the ability to include images directly into the graphic organizer by searching for relevant images online or by providing a direct link to an online image. Some basic formatting options, such as text color and size, are present. However, as all nodes other than the parent or central node are lines, no formatting of shapes is available. The tool does offer a simple approach to creating mind maps and graphic organizers, which may warrant additional investigation and use. In short, the saving functionality, branching without termination nodes (use a line instead), collapsibility, and image inclusion are features that may prove more useful than comparable tools. Considering essential cognitive processing, the tool may assist with selecting and organizing complex material in order to reach a generative processing state. This may be possible by presenting information in a keyed and organized approach, which is a central premise of most mind mapping software.
  • Marie Anglin on 13 Jan 14
     
    Mind42 is an online mind map that allows users to add images to their brainstorming and collaborate with others. Users have access to a gallery of mind maps and can post comments. This site can be used for essesntial learning based on its multimedia capabilities. Mind42 is a better website than other mind maps that I have reviewd because of the extra support provided through the gallery of mind maps.

    Go Animate is a web application that allows users to make video representations of learning material or to showcase what has been learned. This application allows the user to create fully animated video cartoons complete with text to audio features. The application can be used for both essential and generative learning. It is particularly useful in the generative process as it allows the user to integrate learned materials in a creative manner.

GoAnimate! can be used to help learners manage essential processing by using the principles of multimedia to create an effective presentation. It is better than other sites because it is so user friendly, and animations can be created quickly.
