Tomorrow I hope the students get the videos filmed and timelines done. My students had a guest teacher today as I had professional development as part of the TRC grant. I'm a little concerned about how much they accomplished today in spite of having a wonderful guest teacher.
At my professional development a wordle appeared as a part of a presentation and it hit me. Those students who have everything done can make a wordle as a title page while they are waiting for the others to finish up.
I learned about making a fakepage...think that is what it is called. It looks like a facebook page but isn't a real one. I think pulling that into the project would be great. I wish I used it as the timeline instead of a "normal" timeline. If things go well tomorrow, maybe we'll try creating one.

Wordle
(The beginning of this post is at the end of the post below...hope you figure it out!)
Open the wordle in its own window. Expand the screen. Press control and Print screen button on your keyboard. (For you print screen newbies, when you press this NOTHING HAPPENS! Don't panic.) Open PowerPoint. On a blank screen, right click and click paste. Your wordle should show up. Adjust the size and go to picture editing. I can't give you specific details because I'm on an old computer at the moment and don't have access to the newest version of PowerPoint. You need to find the picture tool bar. Find the crop tool. This crops different than any photo software I've ever used, but it works. Grab the black lines around the picture. Move them to where you want to "cut" the picture. Cool stuff! Then stretch the wordle to fit the frame. Print if you like. (We change the background to white to save on ink.)
