My class went to wordle.com and had a blast. I included it as my website of the week and got a lot of positive feedback from parents! We used the word bubbles to create expert clusters as part of a response to Anthony Reynoso. Thank you Cath for sharing such a fabulous site.

I'm not quite sure how to do this, but I hope someone will tell me if I've goofed. I attended the Webinar by Mark Moore on November 18th and I was flabbergasted at the wealth of projects that he demonstrated. That was only about a dozen or so of the 50,000 that are already available. Also, the previous Friday, I was at an all day Diocesan workshop on 21st. Century Literacy, so you could say by the time of Mark's webinar my brain was saturated. For those of you who may have missed out because you registered at the OCDE and not on the Thinkfinity website as well, don't feel bad. The only reason I found out that you had to do both is that I called and inquired. Randy Kolset from the OCDE found out the morning before that one had to do both and it was already too late. However, sheer perseverance and persistence got me on. The good news is that you can get in touch with Randy at the OCDE. They plan to host a few more of these webinars in the coming weeks. It's worth it. I plan to attend again. One of the things I took away from WP2 was "Projects." At the time I couldn't figure out how and what to do. The webinar was so very helpful. Several content area ones were demonstrated that showed how completing a project involved critical thinking as well as multiple subject areas and, to boot, engage the interest of the students in a way that they enjoy. I even understood the ones on bridge-building! More good news: There are lots of them that do not require much technology. Those are the ones I'll get into first. I hope I've intrigued some of you into attending another of these webinars. =Welcome to Your New Wiki!=
