Howard Rheingold Video

Thanks so much Jen for the great blog piece about this video. I love it! A great discussion between the great Will Richardson and Howard Rheingold. I think anyone who wants or "needs" to understand what Web2.0 and new technology is all about, should take the hour to view this video. It really makes a lot of sense to me, and really validates my passion for teaching children using web2.0 tools in main stream education.

A Wordle A Day




I was reading Kim Cofino's blog today, and noticed she wrote about Wordle. I am considering myself tagged, and will put my wordle in here to show everyone!

I just finished up a great project with my 7th graders. We wrote an "I Am" poem about themselves, and used all of the words from the poem to create a "visual" poem. It was a lot of fun and really engaged the students. Some even told me they went home and used wordle. Now that is what I like to see! Here is my wordle from my diigo account tags.
