This Is Who We Are

     This week we learned about two sites, Wordle and Glogster. I find these to sites to be pretty interesting.


     Wordle is a website that allows you to generate pictures using words. You can take a speech, book, or other form of text, and paste it onto the website. A short while later, it generates a picture that is used as a summary for the text you entered. The more times a word is used in the text, the larger the word appears in your Wordle. This could be an interesting addition to a presentation you might be giving.


     Glogster is also quite unique. A "Glog" is a combination of "Graphic" and "Blog". This site allows you to create an online poster that can detail your mood, your favorite band, or even just you. The glog creation tool allows you to add graphics, sound clips, videos, etc. I think that this is a neat tool for creative and individualistic people.
