4 events

Here are 4 events that inspired me to record my learning journey as a blog:
1. In November 2005 I attended Professional Development courses run by Jacqui Sharp – "Digital Cameras for real Beginners and 101 Ways to use your Digital Camera."

2. I was next inspired by Dorothy Burt who spoke about classroom blogging at a Teachers Conference in Palmerston North in January 2010.

3. My wonderful techie and future focussed husband, Julien, continues to inspire and challenge me to try out new "technology." Hence my iPhone is now my favourite device that I am addicted to and would be lost without. Together with my iPad it has made it so easy for me to keep in touch with current changes in technology.

4. The last event that catapulted me in the deep end and showed me what could be happening in my school, was attending the ISTE conference in San Diego in July 2012. This conference opened my eyes, inspired and motivated me to share my learning. This blog, hopefully, will have ideas to inspire you to get e-learning happening in your classroom.


Wordle

http://www.wordle.net/

Have FUN playing with WORDS

Our Holiday Highlights
Extremely simple!! – a selection of words that get turned into a “word cloud” to share via email link or embed into your blog – a colourful way of presenting a:
  • brainstorm
  • list of class names
  • list of adjectives, verbs nouns etc
  • book titles, characters
  • cities, countries of the world
  • favourite animals, fruit, vegetables etc
  • colours, numbers
  • etc, etc
So simple that even young children could manage entering the edited words by themselves.

You can let the site randomly choose the arrangement or you can have some control over colours, font etc

You don’t need an account or login BUT you will need to make sure you save the link or embedded code when you save and share the wordle – this is the only way you will find it again.
