Tagxedo

Above I have created a tagxedo, using the the tagxedo website. To create a tagxedo you have to load up words that you would like have have in it. I chose words about love, friendship and family. Then you develop it further by changing the shape colour and font.

Wordle

I have just created this bundle of words all about me. I used a website called wordle to create this. The website is really straight forward to used, I simple copied and pasted a paragraph about me into the box provided and I changed the words around into different positions and different colours and this is how it turned out. I think it looks really effective.

Graffiti

Above I have created my name in Graffiti, I used a website called the Graffiti Creator.The graffiti maker is really easy to use, you just enter a word of your choice and use all different colours and bubbles and stripes etc to decorate your word.

Text-image

Here is an image of a flower that I uploaded onto text-image.com. This website converts the picture in to loads of tiny words, for my image I chose the word flower.

Glogster

As I have said below I completed two weeks of work placement at Abertysswg Primary School. During my time at the school I was mostly involved with christmas activities. The children performed two christmas concerts. The reception class performed christmas with the aliens and the junior class performed cinderella rockerfella. Both concerts were amazing and all the children took part and performed brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed helping out and watching them. I have created a glogster about these concerts. The reason I chose to do a glogster was that I wanted to experiment more with the online poster as I can see the usefulness that it has. When using this program you can be very creative and it allows you to use many different images, graphics, text and you can also add audio and a video. Also, if you have added something from the internet to your glog you can add the link so that you can go back to where you found it. The only thing is that I still can't find how to upload my glogster on to here.

Placement

I have recently completed a week of work placement at Abertysswg Primary School in Rhymney. I thoroughly enjoyed my week and would love to go back. During my time in the school I completed many different tasks and worked with many different children at different ages. The children I worked with were at different academic levels. Throughout the week I helped mainly with christmas craft and the christmas concerts. I was at a disadvantage going this time a year because I couldnt observe the children working as it was the last week before christmas and there was so much going on. I would like to have had more time to have one to one with the children but it was impossible at this time of year. As I was unable to do this I am looking forward to the next opportunity I have to go back.
