Ms Dyer gave us an idea. She has been making Wordles with their classes. Wordles is a fun Java applet that was created by someone at IBM during his spare time. Using this program, students brainstorm concept related words and type them into the program.
A variation on the Wordle is the Wordle book ad as shown in this sample (some of the words came out a bit too small though). Here, you create the Wordle and then take a screen capture of it. Next, it gets pasted into another program like Publisher or PowerPoint with a copy and pasted picture of the book cover. After joining the two images together, copy the screen capture and save it as a .jpg. Or, leave it in Power Point and create a class PowerPoint presentation of Wordle book ads!!
