A wordle of my Educational Philosophy




Wordle: My Educational Philosophy
Click on the picture to go to Wordle and see the large version!

I was intrigued by another blogger, Mrs. Malchow, who posted her philosophy of education into wordle to create a visual representation.  I thought I would try my own.

"Students" and "reading" are apparently very dominate in my philosophy.  Can you tell I'm a first grade teacher?!  :)

On the bigger version, you can also see that the following words stand out: learning, classroom, writers, rotations, readers, math, group, curriculum, also (hmm may need to look into this...), progressivism, teacher, area, educator, responsibility, and knowledge.

I was shocked to see that "technology" was absent from my wordle.  This is something that I will definitely need to go back and incorporate.  I love that wordle lets you know what you are really emphasizing, whether you meant to or not!

What would YOUR wordle look like?
