 * ===‍**Participant Name** === || ===‍**Ideas about using a Web 2.0 Technology like Wordle** === ||
 * Donna Pepper || I like the way words that I have used more than once appear larger since it helps me get a visual of the "big ideas" in my writing. ||
 * Cheryl Ward || Paste in the content of a famous speech and see if students know the speech, study the words used most frequently, is that why the speech was famous? ||
 * Tina/Coventry || This reminds me of something I used to do to my locker in high school. I'd cut words out of magazines to make a collage for the inside of my locker. Those collages spoke volumes about me. This is a neat way to creatively present thoughts. ||
 * Brian/NHS || I like to use Wordle in developing instructional materials (such as cover pages for unit packets), but I don't see many worthwhile student applications. As an instructional and/or assessment tool, Wordle seems a bit low level, no? ||
 * Marcy/NHS || I like to use Wordle when developing basic concepts for my students to remember. For example, when studying the different types of government around the world- I use the words the students need to memorize. This allows a little of creativity to the lesson plan. ||
 * Alex/ NHS || Wordle is not standing out to me as something I could use really in class, but knowing what it does will allow me to come up with some uses in the future probably. I would not design a lesson around it, but maybe could use it some time to enhance a lesson. ||
 * Chris/NHS || Wordle is a neat tool to make neat designs but I don't think it really improves student learning. I used it to make a poster by inputting the entire text of a math OGT and having it highlight the words used most. ||
 * Melissa/NHS || My students just finished creating Factoring Flip Chart Booklets. Wordle may have enhanced their creativity! ||
