The Wordle Image of My Presentation Prowess Design Script
Thsrs and Wordle and ToonDoo
1. Thsrs is an online thesaurus, but rather than give you all options, it gives you the short words that are alternative to your submission. Sort of cool, but really more a reflection on the ever pressing fight between meaning and space.
2. Wordle is a tool that I had specific interest in when I taught high school, now it seems a little like a toy. The application to teaching high school is that I could take a student’s paper and show them what they had actually said. Very often, one could take a paper, copy and paste it into the submission screen on wordle, and find out that the largest word (which is relative to the word most often used in the text submitted) was “like”. Enough said?
3. Toondoo is a great website as well. Essentially it is a social tool for the creation of imagry on the internet. I do wonder, as I have not played with it much, if it is really necessary. There seem to be a playground of really great drawing/imagry editing tools out in the Web 2.0 world and I just question the specificity of this specific tool.
