Word cloud

What I did:  I made my word cloud, which I called What is Math?
To do this I used Wordle.  It was super easy, in contrast to my last project. 
.
What I Learned: Wordle is a fun and creative way to display knowledge.  It can be done in minutes.Also, I finally got the hang of linking text (important). I can go back and correct my previous posts.(I did)

 How I can Use It:  I could use this when I am beginning or wrapping up a unit.  This would fit nicely into a math discussion using our Everyday Math series.  Students contribute their words and I add to the Wordle.  Afterwards, I display. They will learn quickly how to do it, then they can design, explain and display their wordles. I see this as a good project for beginning cooperative groups.

NETS T? This activitiy relates to:
- Standard 1a, which states that teachers "promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness".  The creator of this document would have to use appropriate words and images that suit the main idea.  "Main idea and details" is an important concept for 3rd and 4th grade students to grasp.
-Standard 1c, which states that teachers "promote student reflection using collaborative tools..."  Students could design a Word Cloud in group, involving each student to reflect and contribute to the final presentation.
