A Picture of Learning
Published June 20, 2008 by Rick Biche
So, I have come across a few posts referencing Wordle lately and here is my try. I chose to use the text of the first of the year post on my class blog- from way back in September. I also added the text of all the student comments. The title of the post was “How I Learn Best“. I enjoy looking at this. I wonder how it would have looked different if I had them post their responses again at the end of the year?
Here it is. Give it a click to see the full size image.

Mr. B - that is very cool. I’ve seen the ‘word clouds’ but didn’t know about Wordle. I like your idea of what it might have looked like at the start of the year. I think I’ll give that a try.
My big question for you is, as a teacher in a ‘rura’ area, you still make incredible use of technology. Are the kids doing all this at home (what of those with no access?) or do you have labs and laptops in school? With my 27-30 kids in one classroom with 2 desktops or laptops that have batteries that run down, I don’t see how i can manage it. Any advice?
