Cool 2.0 Tool

Hey guys. I ran across a really cool 2.0 tool and I think you should check it out. The tool is Wordle. Wordle allows you the opportunity to type or copy and paste any paragraph into it. You can then take that paragraph and make a pretty word cloud. The cool part is that the more the word appear in the paragraph, the bigger the word will be in the cloud. I think everyone should go to wordle and play around with it at least once.

Visit Twitter

Twitter is an awesome website for students. Students can ask questions, observe videos, and presentations. They also can share their viewpoint on different observations. Twitter is used all across the nation by all types of people. A lot of professional athlete's use this as well. The kids will love to explore and watch videos.

I chose the game 3rd world famer. This is a very interesting game. I had a lot of fun managing the family, land, and crops. This game gives me an example of how things were several years ago. It also teaches you management skill to survive with on a small amount of money. It also teaches you to make wise decisions with your money.
