    * 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.

    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.

    You can create word clouds using Wordle. Use different fonts, colors, and shapes to emphasize key concepts. Easy to use and visually appealing.

    *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.

    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.

    Brief Description: Slide Share is a website where an individual can upload and share their presentations, personal/professional videos, and documents (word and pdf). Information uploaded can be shared with everyone on the website or restrictions (limited viewers) can be placed on your information. Brief Explanation: Slide Share is a good presentation website because your information can be categorized, receive feedback, and is easy to use. Also a key plus for this website is that it is free.

    Slide Share is a place where you can create an free account and upload videos, PowerPoint presentations, documents, and more. Once your information is uploaded to Slide Share you can share your account with others. This could be a convenient to share multiple formats of information during a presentation with a group. It even has a feature where you can log in as a guest, eliminating the requirement for presentation attendants to create an account. Slide Share is an example of essential learning because it provides the participant with essential material that through their presentations will lead to their working memory.
  • Angela Finley on 19 Jul 10
     
    On this site, users are able to upload PowerPoint presentations, videos, Word, and PDF documents. They are also able to create webinar materials. I chose this site because of the I have had the opportunity to view videos and presentations and the past, and the quality of such material is excellent. The site is easy to use and free.
  • Wandra Coffield on 19 Jul 10
     
    Teachers who are familiar with the use of presentation software such as MS Power Point, may opt to use Slideshare to post and share their presentation. Again this a user-friendly tool, with ease of access for participants. The presentations in slideshare can also be embedded into a wiki, blog, or web page that will be used throughout the workshop.
  • Cathy Marziali on 17 Oct 10
     
    Slideshare is an online site that houses a wide variety of presentations, documents and videos. These resources can be uploaded and downloaded for easy sharing. It has a wide variety of presentations on a wide variety of subjects. Users must be cautious because there is no quality control. I had to look through a large number of presentations before I could find something that had both the content and quality for which I was searching. This site is a good resource for essential learning as it can provide new information in both auditory and visual forms to be processed into the working memory. I liked this site because of the quantity of presentations that are housed in one site. Presentations can be easily uploaded, shared, and embedded into sites.
  • donna carroll on 16 Jan 11
     
    Slideshare http://www.slideshare.net/ This is a free site that can be used to upload a powerpoint presentation. This site develops a learner's essential knowledge of the presentation by allwong them to see and hear the presentation being presented. I chose this site becauce it is free and participants can access it from home or from any computer with internet access.
  • Tabitha Edenfield on 18 Jan 11
     
    Slideshare - Slideshare is a website that allows users to upload various types of presentations: documents, presentations, and professional videos. I like this site because it attempts to keep non-professional data off , unlike sites such as You Tube that is for general use. Setting up an account is easy and the basic membership is free, which is always nice.
  • Monica Loadholt on 18 Jul 11
     
    SlideShare is a tool that allows users to upload presentations or videos they have created to be shared with others. This site also allows users to search for presentations and videos on topics of interest. Having used this tool before, I have found it easy to use and can see how it might be used to share any presentations or videos created for the workshop with staff who were unable to attend or with a much broader audience.

    The first impression on this site was that it would have been an audio and visual presentation of movie maker how to. This tutorial became quickly less appealing when there was no sound and it was all text with nice visual effects. This site focused on behavioral activity because it used chunking to break down the parts of the tutorial into manageable sections. After reviewing this website it lead to the assumption that it was technology centered approach because this tutorial has no connection of prior knowledge or any type of feedback (Mayer, 2010).
