The app’s name implies that it only works for poetry, but it will work with any text that you write. Visual Poetry allows you to choose from a menu of word cloud shapes. If the shapes in the menu aren’t quite what you’re after, you can draw your own shapes to use for your word clouds. Visual Poetry provides a wide selection of font styles, font colors, and background colors. By default Visual Poetry makes the most common words the largest, but you can make other words the featured words by simply typing them into your word clouds.
Word clouds can be useful in helping students identify the words that are emphasized in a written article or a speech. Visual Poetry is currently priced at $1.99 USD.

Alchemy is a great and addictive game where the user is presented with four basic elements ( Air, Earth, Fire, Water) and the user can then simply mix these elements to create new elements such as life, city, alcohol, book.
Currently there are 270 possible elements that can be created but the developer may release more with future updates. The game can be downloaded for free on the android market and I would highly recommend it for puzzle enthusiasts. It reminds me of a great RPG game I use to play on the pc called, Arcanum of steamworks and magick obscura, maybe some of you may have heard of it. QR Code: I have spent a lot of time playing this addictive game and I have come up with the full 270/270 elements. 1. 1UP= life + mushroom 2. iPad Classroom. Chrome Browser on a USB Flash Drive – With Accessibility. Earlier this year, I wrote about several add-ins for Google’s Chrome Browser that enhance its accessibility as a web browser.
Today, I’m writing about how to use Chrome, with these add-ins, on PC’s where Chrome has not been installed. The Google Chrome Browser is one of a large number of programs available in a “portable” version that can be downloaded, loaded on a USB flash drive and then run directly from the flash drive. This means that Chrome can be run on computers in libraries and schools, or on computers at work sites, where Google’s browser would not otherwise be available. Running Chrome from a USB flash drive also means that the person who needs text-to-speech, voice recognition, support for low vision, or any one of the other many tools available for Chrome, can use these tools wherever he or she needs to go online. Here’s how to set this up. Download the portable installer here.

Bloom’s Taxonomy and iPad Apps LearningToday shares with everyone two beautiful posters, that help us remember Bloom’s Taxonomy: the Blooming Butterfly and the Blooming Orange.
How do we connect the Bloom’s Taxonomy with the iPad? Following inDave Mileham and Kelly Tenkeley’s footsteps of assigning iPad apps to the different levels of the Bloom’s Taxonomy, I created the following table with apps that I have tested out and am recommending. (Click to see a larger version of the image) In order to make the cut, the app had to fulfill the criteria (from Wikipedia and according to the Blooming Orange’s verbs) set out for each level. You will notice that several apps that are in the same app category (ex. screencasting: ShowMe, ScreenChomp and ExplainEverything) are represented on different levels of the Bloom’s. I want to encourage/challenge you, to take a look at the iPad apps on YOUR iPad and to categorize these apps with the different thinking levels and THEN take the next step to SHARE your list with other educators.
