My Technology Word Cloud
Reflection on the value of word clouds in technology
education
I believe that word clouds would be useful in a variety of
classroom settings, although (embarrassingly) I found it difficult to
understand how to get the iframe snippet from the tagxedo site to embed in this
blog, with some help, I got there in the end. Once embedded and for the use of
students accessing the word cloud, I discovered that the gadget would be a
useful instrument in teaching. Students would be able to easily find words that
they'd be using in their studies and when having difficulty with those words
easily refer to their word cloud and find definitions for them at the touch of
a button. Students learning how to make and embed a word cloud would also enjoy
being able to change colours, themes, shapes etc. to make their desired word
cloud and then learn a more in depth knowledge of technology when learning how
to embed their word cloud into something. I found this skill interesting and
would definitely incorporate them into my classroom.
Three reflections that are concise and of excellent quality. Already, as you read through the threads of reflection, there is coherence and a message developing that will articulate into your pedagogical vision for this subject.
