Her AP CA IV students used Photostory to convey interpretations of various poems to prepare for the AP exam.  Since students in previous years created Movie Maker and iMovie projects, students were comfortable using the technology.  Using photos, music, and narration, the students creatively expressed their interpretation of the poem.  Photostory is available free from Microsoft and can be downloaded to any computer.  The students worked very hard and did a wonderful job! These will soon be posted on the BVW Productions page.

Tagcrowd and Wordle provide visual representations of words. 

 

How can it be used?  Go to SIRS Researcher, Election 2008, and copy-paste the text of the two candidates.  Wordle or Tagcrowd will provide visual representations of the topics or keywords the candidates emphasized.  Want to see the bias of an author?  Copy-paste the text from a journal article into Tagcrowd and again, you can visualize the important concepts stressed by the author. 

 

Tagcrowd and Wordle can work with any text document accessible through you computer including Word, Powerpoint, and Internet Explorer.
