Wordle and the Hopes of my Students for Our New President

Last week in digital media I introduced my students to www.wordle.net. I asked them to write in a word document their hopes and dreams for the Obama administration. I reminded them that he will become our nation’s first bi-racial president, his mother a white women from the United States and his father a black man who was born and raised in a small village in Kenya. I asked them to think about “World Peace”, “Global Warming”, the “World Economy” and race relations around the world. They saved their wordle creations as PDF files. I will upload those files to our district podcast server.
