6.Students will be able to see where the majority of their money or income goes and how to improve their budget. 
7. Students can create a word cloud to show what careers they are interested in and different skills they may need for that career. They can present their cloud to their classmates. ]]> 2018-03-20 21:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287406 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287607 All subjects #7 & Science #3
1.  Each student creates a word cloud in reflection from a discussion, an idea, a reading, or video. Individual comes up with 20-30 descriptive words and then makes a word cloud. 
I think that this would be a good way for the students to make sure the fully understood what the learned and it makes the students reflect.
2.  Create word clouds for animals in a biome. Remember you can make the classification heading bigger. 
I like this one because it helps the students know what belongs in a group and how to properly classify.]]> 2018-03-20 21:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287607 carrieamullins https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287691 All number 9&11
I feel as though this is a good way to help students visualize the words to be able to remember them better while also showing their understanding of topics and words. Having children pick out their own expectations and do an activity with it will help that expectation stick. Especially with younger children. It will make them feel like they have a voice in the classroom.

#5 - Students create a word cloud of items found in different rooms of a house. 
- To create a blueprint of their room so that they can know what a baby would need. 
#2 - Have students keep food journal of what they eat for a week. If they eat French fires three times they record that. They then enter their entire journal entry being sure to give a number value in the advanced more or pasting the word the correct number of times. They should end up with a word cloud of their diet. Then make them color code the food groups.
-This will allow the students to see how much of each food group they are eating in a day or week. Then they can make changes to balance their diet. ]]> 2018-03-20 21:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287707 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287745 FCS 2&4
2.) I like how it would be easy to organize the food groups and I think it would be a helpful study tool.
4.) I like how students would be able to become more detailed in their work, but at the same time they would have their work organized.]]> 2018-03-20 21:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287745 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287851 FCS
1. Students can track their personal diet and it will represent the amounts of food they have and how often they ate certain foods.
3. Students can use a Word Cloud to show what ingredients or cooking methods they used and can be helpful when studying or sharing the recipe.

1.  I liked the idea of making a word cloud of student writing like poems or haikus. This would be a neat way to see student writing and could even be in the shape of something connected to their poem.
2. Word clouds could also be used to illustrate certain themes or ideas of books. This can connect many important parts of the story from characters to ideas, to themes.]]> 2018-03-20 21:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287902 autumnbshort https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287935 All Subjects

#7- This will help in the classroom for after class discussion. This will show me what main ideas students took from the lecture and what they need to work on more.

#12- This is a fun way to learn students names at the beginning of the new school year.]]> 2018-03-20 21:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287935 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244287956 Foreign Language 1 & 3
#3 Have students word cloud a foreign newspaper article. I thought this would be a good way to analyze an article in a foreign language and identify the main idea before reading.

#1 Have students create a word cloud of the country being studied. This would be a good introduction to a unit on a new country and allow students to do some independent research or give prior knowledge about the country.

It would also be helpful for vocabulary lessons, or showing which vocab words are most important]]> 2018-03-20 21:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288007 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288091 For English Word cloud allows students to brainstorm ideas for discussions. They allow you to come with synonyms for words for papers. Also it's a good way to incorporate creativity in the classroom]]> 2018-03-20 21:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288091 sydcfletch https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288095 High School Art
 7. Each student creates a word cloud in reflection from a discussion, an idea, a reading, or video. Individual comes up with 20-30 descriptive words and then makes a word cloud. Using advanced tools they could rank them or color code them. 
Using this way of making word clouds would help students get their creativity brewing, and they can showcase graphic talent if that's what they like. This engages them in a way that helps me know they understand the core of the lesson!

4. Put Vocabulary words into a Word Cloud.
I think this is a fun and creative way to have kids read and study their vocab or spelling words. This will be able to create their own Word Cloud with their words and make it unique to them. Having the students create their own words in their own way can help them remember their words and their spelling.]]> 2018-03-20 21:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288096 morganelainedonaldson https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288272 I like numbers 1 and 5 the best under the Language Arts section.

Why? Having students display their understanding of a concept is extremely beneficial and by using Word Clouds, this specifically engages students by using a free and interactive tool.
Reason 2: Put words in a word cloud that will be part of spelling tests and vocabulary investigations. Why? Students will not only have to look for the words within the cloud by they will also have the ability to research those words using technology. ]]> 2018-03-20 21:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288283 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288403 Mathematics:
3. Have students work out ways to illustrate statistics in a word cloud. Have them work with both advanced numbers and colors. >>I like this idea because it would be an excellent way for students to visualize how common values may not coincide with measures of central tendency

11.  Create a word cloud of standards to be used in the course. >>If students have this to refer to, they can actually see what concepts are important, and aspects of the course that are related to other aspects of the course.

**What about using word cloud with word problems to identify words that students can associate with a particular mathematical process?]]> 2018-03-20 21:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244288403 loganmassey1998 https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244290775 For High School History
students should compare the constitutions of three different countries. Analyze the structure and different levels that citizens are able to be involved within the government. Students should pick two countries from this list and research those countries constitutions. Students can pick from the United Stats, England, France, Russia, world war one Germany, U.S. during the articles of confederation or England and France during monarch rule.]]> 2018-03-20 21:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kwan_yi/xwibu2e0zklu/wish/244290775
