Things # 7 : Image Generators

This is the second time I use Wordle which catch my interest on it. If you go further explore the advance part on creating word cloud using Wordle, you can find out easier way to adjust each word sizes by giving weight on each words you want to put in your word cloud. Here below is an example wordle that i made to describe about vocabulary on characters.

Wordle or WordSift both are applications that children can play with in the classroom. They can use the application to learn about vocabulary, giving keyword for their reading assignment or they can use it for history classes to highlight key places on that lesson based on it's importance to that event.

Other thing that catch my interest is Voki. It is awesome tool for classroom interaction, especially for earlier age students who likely love to play with technology thing. They can play with the feature where they choose their avatar, make a short answer for their assignments either use text-to-speech or they can record their voices. It can be used to record their reading assignments and use the recording as an evaluation on their pronunciation and tone. Here is an example that I made from Voki to explain a short introduction about Solar System, I use a text-to-speech feature on it.

The other application that I want to try is Animoto. I will give further reflection on this application later.
