I have been teaching for over ten years, but do not regularly use Web 2.0 tools in my classroom. I am looking forward to learning more and putting them to use in my German and History classrooms. I teach at an all-girls Catholic high school in Nashville, TN.

My wordle was designed by lifting text about the rise and fall of the French Empire under Napoleon from an encyclopedia entry. I think I would have students focus on the largest type words and discuss their relationship to what they know about the Napoleonic empire and whether or not they agree with the "type size" and why. Or I would ask them to break the terms down in two lists: rise, fall.

Here are my first attempts at VoiceThread - no microphone at school, so they are that exciting.
