And For Something Completely New....



Check out my Wordle here. I've always loved the look of wordles and I think they are a great tool for students to use as part of a reflection exercise. As I near the end of this course I thought about a way that I could express the main concepts and ideas that I take away from this experience and came up with a word collage. I didn't know what that was called, but a bit of online searching led me to the wordle site and it was pretty easy to create one. I think it would be great to encourage students to create a gallery of wordles about a concept in an online course or a reflective piece at the end of the course. For a business ethics course that I am planning to teach I am going to have students create wordles that express their personal code of ethics at the beginning of that chapter in the text. I think it is a simple but very personal learning experience for each student that also allows them to demonstrate their creativity. My wordle is titled Online Learning.
