Wordle & Twitter

Last week we learned about Wordle and Twitter in class.  I had heard of both before but had never used either one.  I think Wordle is a fun and easy to use tool, but I don't see many uses for it in my future Math classroom.  It also was more complicated than necessary to figure out how to insert the picture of your Wordle into a presentation.  Twitter seemed like a tool I might could use in my classroom, but not everyone has a Twitter or would want to use that as a primary source of communication for reminders, etc.  Also, most high schools have safeguards set up to block certain websites from being accessed at the school and usually all social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are blocked.  Overall, Wordle and Twitter and two fun Web 2.0 tools, but I don't feel they will have much impact in my future classroom.
