Wordle and Timetoast

Wordle: I like the concept behind wordle. The uses within the classroom seem almost endless. Using a word cloud to display information bout specific event or to spice up historical information is a brilliant idea! I can see using world not only for educational and teaching word cloud but also fun little "star student" awards and things of that sort. Wordle is fun to play around with and I think students would really enjoy using it within the classroom.

Timetoast: Timetoast is a virtual timeline. I LOVE the idea of using a timetoast with in a classroom. Having students research individual topics and create a timeline that can be done quickly would be a great in class activity. Additionally, because your timetoast can be save to your timetoast account, it could be accessed at home as well, this enables student to work in multiple location before sharing. I fully plan to implement timetoast as a classroom tool within my future classroom
