Thing #10 Generating Fun


SCIENTIA SAPIENTES DEFENDIT


"Knowledge protects the wise". I have always liked the idea of wisdom as being the ability to make good life choices, based on what we know. In other words, the acquisition of knowledge, while admirable, does not impress me in a person who does not seem to be living their life with wisdom. So... I used the "Latin Motto Generator" to create a life motto for myself. To create your own motto about life or anything else, go to:

Next, I went to "Wordle" to create a Word picture of terms having to do with "Cells". Since Biology is such a vocabulary-rich subject, I thought it might be fun to use some of that vocabulary in a creative way. Click on the thumbnail of the wordle below to see it in a "read-able" size.

  1. Wordle is a great site! I love the application in science! I am a bit of a downer for kids when it comes to printing though. I tell them not to use the black background to save ink.

  2. Wow, you have some great ideas and websites. I can really see this being used at all grade levels. Students would have a great time with this. Instead of printing off their work they oculd save it and e-mail it their teacher. This would cover several areas of technology.
