Thing 7: Image Generators

Wordle is a program designed to generate "word clouds."  Each cloud can be modified and personalized to the personality of the user.  I created a wordle to emphasis the importance of figurative language.  As an educator, my students can create word clouds to show characterization and symbolism pertaining to specific characters.  It provides a fun and spontaneous way for students to reflect on their thinking.  It also allows for easy informal assessments of comprehension.

Voki is a tool used in some classrooms to provide learning or reteaching in a variety of innovative ways.  In my professional opinion, Voki could be used to assist students in tutorials working on different TEKS or standards.
