TOOL #5 (part 2)

I was going to do something with Mixbook until I realized that it is just like Shutterfly photo that I have used in the past to make albums for my family.  I also used Wordles with my students last year as an activity for learning buddies to find commonalities between the fifth graders and the second graders, so I decided to find out how to use WordSift.   Again, I decided to use the Preamble assignment.  I typed in the words and it just sifted them in a different order.  I suppose I could put this on paper or my white board and see if the students can reorder the words before they are required to say them aloud.  However, both of the activities I listed in this tool require very low-level thinking so I will really just use them briefly during quick downtime in the classroom or at the beginning of a lesson.
