The Word Cloud App by ABCYa is a wonderful creation App that makes writing fun. Students are motivated to know that they are going to do something special with the words they type.
A couple fun projects for the beginning of the school year...
Ms. Nappi had her students write Bio Poems in Google Docs. Then when I visited the classroom we had students copy their poem and paste the words into the word cloud app. From there students had fun adjusting the word cloud until it looked how they wanted it to display. After students saved their project they made a black and white version that will be 3D printed to serve as classroom avatars.
Mrs. Gervais' class recently did a project with word cloud as well. Her students wrote their thoughts and ideas about being kind to one another in Google Docs. Then her students copied and pasted their words from docs into the word cloud app.
*Students could also place the image they create with Word Cloud into their Google Doc for a nice visual.
