Thing 17----Sidetracked by "wordle"

I enjoyed this activity more than I anticipated.  However, I became very sidetracked.  I should have accomplished three "things" by now, but I found a site I liked because of this "thing".  I typed in educational technology and explored the results.  I then decided to check out a bookmark that had tags that caught my right-brained attention....words such as creativity, clouds, peace and love.  Well, not really peace and love, but I decided to check out the site that many had bookmarked.   By visiting this site, you can type in a lot of text, and have a word cloud created for you, in any font and color you choose.  I'm supposed to be talking about the bookmarking tool for this post, but let me just throw in that "wordle" would be a really fun way for a student to practice spelling words.  Anyway, I can definitely see the potential of the bookmarking tool in the classroom.  It's like having an organizer for outside resources, yet it's interactive.  You can share with and borrow from fellow educators, and build an arsenal of continuously updated resources.  I will definitely use this tool!
