Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

Word Cloud Personal Reflection Project 2014


Word Clouds - Simple Counseling Project




Please take today's class a Word Cloud with one of the following websites:



https://tagul.com  This could be the easiest!  Just Download the 1MP version of your cloud without logging in by clicking https://tagul.com/cloud and Import Words.  Then click SHAPES, FONTS, :LAYOUT, COLORS AND ANIMATIONS to change it.  Finally, use GRAB AND SHARE and click the EXPORT VECTOR IMAGE 1MP Button and open your picture in PREVIEW on the Macbook.  In PREVIEW you will have to SAVE the image you made to the desktop and then UPLOAD and SHARE it.





Other Sites To Try:

http://www.imagechef.com/ic/word_mosaic 



http://www.abcya.com/word_clouds.htm



http://worditout.com/



http://www.wordle.net/



All three will work.  Some of your computers may not have the Java
Console installed.  Please do not install it.  Wordle seems to
work the slowest, but have the most choices for being creative.  ABCYA
is the easiest to use and should be simple to download and send to me. 
WordItOut requires you to enter your email to get the downloaded copy.



Please choose as many adjectives below to describe yourself.  The more
times you repeat a word, the bigger and more highlighted it will be in
your Word Cloud.  Copy and Paste the words you want to use to describe
yourself into the text box on the Word Cloud creator you are using. 
Then hit create.  Each of the sites works in a slightly different way. 
Eventually, you need to create a custom Word Cloud, download it to the
desktop as a JPEG picture, and email the picture to my email
(hscribnercaa@gmail.com) so I can print it for inclusion in your
personal guidance folder.





Step 1:  Open A New Google Drive Document



Step 2:  List as many adjectives about yourself as you can

Step 3:  List Adjectives multiple time to increase their size in the picture. The More Times They Are In The List, The Bigger They Will Be On The Picture!





Step 4:  Create the Wordle (Other) Drawing

Step 5:  Change Design Colors, Styles and Settings

Step 6:  Save Design AS A Picture (JPEG FILE) or EXPORT IT from Application

Step 7:  Upload PICTURE to your Google Drive and put a copy on your website (Weebly)

Step 8:  Use the SHAREABLE Link on Google Drive to Post a LINK to your picture on the Crossroads 2014-2025 Google+ Community For CREDIT.





You will not receive credit for this assignment until you have uploaded, saved, and shared the picture you created on the Google+ Community.







Look to the right to see an example of my Word Cloud (Click Image To See
It Better).  Below is a list of adjectives to use, but you can include
any additional words that describe you that are not on the list.  Make
sure you do not use any profane, vulgar or other poor word choices.  I will be printing this in color if I can and posting them outside the wall.....MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS IN THE PICTURE SOMEWHERE WITH THE WORDS "XROADSCS2014"











Good Luck,



- Mr. S
