I completed my 3rd tool today. This was a challenging one for me! I experimented with the different sites that let you generate images but had trouble saving them to my blog. I found that Image Chef and Worditout were the two I could manipulate the best. I chose these two and generated images as gadgets on my sidebar on my blog. The theme I chose for both was reading/literacy which is very important to me because that is my main focus in Prek. I could see using these with my class as we learn new vocabulary through our themes, making word clouds to develop our oral language. I think the children would also enjoy seeing the different designs that are formed by the words.
On to Tool 4!
I also had a difficult time trying to figure out how to save my Wordle to my computer so that I could upload it to my blog. There were some instructions, but they were not detailed or simple enough for my level. Image Chef's directions were a lot easier for me to follow. By the way, I really like your Avatar (Kitty Kitty). So cute! I wished I had chosen an animal after I saw yours.
