UEN.org

Rain Forest Math
There was a question as to why this site was closed until next year. The CLA from Columbia Elementary did share the email that she had received from the owner of the site. Because of permission issues and organizations illegally stealing activities from the site, the site is unavailable until the owner has time to regroup and decisions are made so that the site is protected.
Wordle
We looked at a program that creates word clouds. There were a couple of troubleshooting items that was learned during the training.
*If you need to go back to typing your words for the word cloud and you do not want to retype again, hit the refresh button and you will be taken to your word box to add to it.
*You can print your wordle from the internet site or save it as a PDF.
*There was a word of caution to be careful when you have the kids on the homepage of wordle. |
