Step 5

I really like all of the products. I created a word cloud but I wasn't able to figure out how to put it on the blog. I created a comic that you can check out. I also created a xtranormal video. I think that the word cloud can be used as a form of interactive word wall where the students can create a list of math words over time that they hear and use in class. Then they can take the list and create a word cloud. The cloud will highlight the high frequency words. Or we could take tests and word problems and create a word cloud.  Again the cloud will highlight the high frequency words. I think the comic can be used to create word problems that cam be embedded into flipchart or linked to blog posts that students can access. I really like the xtranormal video product. You can create an account for free, however you most likely will have to buy points to publish videos. I think it's worth it though because the videos can be a fun way to introduce a topic. I really like the fact that you can create dialogue which can be used as an interesting way to introduce academic talk to students. Then take them even further by allowing them to create videos/dialogue on their own to show their mastery of not only academic language but the actual content as well. You can see my xtranormal video here.
