=Assignment #1 - Wordle= Wordle - an online tool for creating word clouds.  Ways to use Wordle in the classroom
 * 1) Spelling practice
 * 2) Vocabulary
 * 3) Review sheet

I teach 4th grade and we have two standardized writing tests this year and I thought this would be a fun way to create an overused word wall. For example make the word Said large and fill the rest of the wordle with words you can use in your writing instead of the word said. This could be a whole class or group activity.

=**Assignment # 2 Voicethread **= I don't have a microphone so this one wasn't as fun but I did browse around other peoples' sites and thought voicethread would be something simple and enjoyable to use in the classroom.

**Assignment # 3 Storybird**
I had a hardtime using the pictures I would get a good idea going and then not find any pictures to finish my story. So I finally figured out I would make a picture story and then add words. Which is sequencing and this would be a fun creative way to teach that concept. media type="custom" key="10058885"
