OUR FIRST WORDLE

Today we learnt about a cool tool called a WORDLE. 

A WORDLE is a word cloud.

To make a WORDLE, you add in some text. The words that are used the most are the biggest words in the word cloud.

You can choose what type of font, layout and colour you want.

Here is a WORDLE we created about wordles.

WORDLES are fun to make and easy to make too.

In fact, WORDLES are cool!

We hope you have fun making wordles too.

VOICES OF THE WORLD

In October last year, the those of us who were in 1M joined a

worldwide, collaborative project - VOICES of the WORLD.

This exciting project was created to unite children around the world using voice and sound.
Each month, using a different Web 2.0 tool, our task was to create an audio file that then became part of a VOICES of the WORLD wiki.

SEPTEMBER's task was to make a VOKI to introduce yourself to the other schools. You can see 1M's here
and you can see others from around the world here.

In OCTOBER, we used ANIMOTO to share our National Anthem.
You can watch everyone's here. We are at the top of the menu on the right hand side.

For NOVEMBER's task, everyone had to sing 'TWINKLE, TWINKLE' and use a PAINT program and ONE TRUE MEDIA to create a slide show to go with it. You will find all the slideshows here.

We missed out on the DECEMBER task as we had already finished school for the year but you can listen to all the other schools singing 'JINGLE BELLS' here.

As the 2M Gems, we are still part of this project and we came back to school just in time to participate in JANUARY's task.

This month we all contributed to a VOICETHREAD about food, clothes, musical instruments and sports. We recorded our part yesterday. It was an exciting way to start the year. You can watch and listen here.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY WHO SPOKE FROM 2M?

WE FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT SOME WORDS ARE THE SAME, WHETHER THEY ARE IN ENGLISH OR ANOTHER LANGUAGE. CAN YOU NAME THE WORDS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT?
