Allison Kenney: Content Proposal Reflection My Wordle represents my thesis, and media project. The Wordle is pleasing to the eye to entice teachers to look into the information represented in my thesis and content proposal. My thesis is connecting teachers to Web 2.0 tools through professional development.

Deborah Panttaja Neal's Content Proposal Reflection

My Wordle represents my media project by taking the key words and concepts from the Content Proposal and arranging them in an eye-catching manner. I like how the words: network, students, education, information, and learning ended up being the largest words. That is really what my media project is all about, students networking together gathering information, making sense of that information, leading to improved learning and a better education. Ironically, my Wordle image looks like an airplane getting ready to take off on its educational journey, and reminds me of the wonderful journey I have had at Full Sail University.

My content Wordle does effective represent my thesis media project. I love that it graphically reminds me of a fish: My project is about empowering the students to empower themselves. It also, interestingly enough, reminds me of myself and the whole process I've gone through this last year.

The act of reflection is an interesting one in that there is an emotionally charged undercurrent associated with this stage. I thought I might have to paint it out as I've used up words for expression, though my wordle comes pretty close to satisfying that urge.

Joshua Wheatley Content Proposal Reflection

My content proposal encompasses the use of imagery and visualization into everyday learning. Visualization techniques are a proven and viable solution to help reach beyond the limitations created by our current educational curriculums. Implementing visualization exercises creates mind-body experiences that the human brain cannot differentiate between what the brain sees and what the eyes see.

My wordle creation is a visual summation of my endeavor to implement these tools into practice. I enjoyed the instant and intuitive nature of wordle and will definitely use it in the future. My students have enjoyed it as well.

Allison Kenney: This Wordle represents my thesis and shows some of the key words in a fun and attractive way. 2.0, information, professional, educators and teachers are key in the thesis and it is represented here on the Wordle. Much like my thesis and my media project the format of the wordle is attactive to the eye with bright colors as to encourage teachers and educators to look further into Web 2.0 tools.

Nate Piturachsatit - Content Proposal Reflection Here is the Wordle representation of my content proposal. It demonstrated well all of the ideas that helped to bring the proposal together. It is a mix of students, technology, and motivation. The goal is for technology to be used as a motivator for students. Technology will be used to present information to students in ways that meet their individual learning needs and it will be used by students to interact with the learning and demonstrate what they have learned. In this digital age, students and technology need to blend together to create a learning environment that is productive, yet satisfying for these digital native students.

After flipping through a minimum of 50 Wordle images, this is the one I decided best represented my Content Proposal! Springfield School Board Presentation jumps out, with all the supporting detail included in smaller fonts. I appreciate that every aspect of the proposal is included and the feel of the image is fluid, much like the proposal itself. It appears that there is a box from which the words are trying to break loose, which applies directly to my proposal of the School Board thinking in a manner that is foreign, but necessary.

I very much think the Wordle created an image that really reflects my Content Proposal. The shape is as if the concept of online learning is a moving object looking to be propelled to the next level for the adult learner. I very much like how learning and presentation seemed to be the words are the driving forces behind what will make the learning experience both in a store and online enjoyable and beneficial to the adult learner. The Wordle provides a great visual of the keywords that will make online and in store training successful in retail.

I am happy with the way my wordle came out, and I believe it represents my CP well. It was fun to create and see the keywords I had been using, I will definitely be showing this to some of my fellow teachers. I believe my CP provided the appropriate information in support of my thesis and media project, while also working as an outline for my final presentation.

The main focus of my content proposal is English learning through the use of Web 2.0 applications to create social interaction while writing. Such interactivity will yield closeness between students whose native language is other than English and students who are native English speakers. The main idea continuously evolved because I narrowed the population intended to participate in the course, considering other mediums of delivery, not satisfied with the progress made, or simply just missing content. I have chosen to include in my media project chatting, cooperative learning, sharing, communicating, feeling a sense of belonging, and being responsibly while learning.
 * Reflexion of My Content Proposal **

=Content Proposal Reflection 2010= Wordle’s interpretation of my content proposal is very satisfying. The overall form even suggests the natural curves of a body with a few disjointed interruptions – quite fitting for a project aimed at reducing future repetitive stress injuries. I feel the image captures the essence and intent of my work with appropriate emphasis on the main topics and their foci. This is well illustrated by the ability to construct a sentence from the depicted dominant words that aligns perfectly with my project: A computer project to develop students’ ergonomic knowledge, activities and habits.

 * //My wordle is about social interaction for the autistic and a chance to break through some of the misconception about what it is and what it is not. Autism is a condition that afflicts one in every nine children in America and mostly is most evident between the ages of three and eight. This wordle captures many elements crucial to the development of social and spatial skills not evident in the autistic. Virtual programs like Second Life may provide one way to socialize without the risk of personal contact. Another creative software-musical like “Animusic” provides the animated movements instruments to music while a third social program like Farmville directs in the social adaptation needed to co-exist in a community.//**



I love this Wordle of my Content Proposal! My thesis and media project are all about the importance of Employability Skills and educating students on them. This wordle has those main themes prominently emphasized. As a teacher, my students and their education is the most important thing to me and this Wordle shows that. The Content Proposal for "The Lack of Online Peer Review for AP Studio Art Students" was a virtual match to my thesis and a nice written clarification of the Media Project "AP Sketchbook - Ideas in Motion" my Ning social networking site. I am pleased with the way the Wordle connected the important ideas, structuring them in such a way as to enhance the textural understanding and visual importance of each of the topics.




 * //This wordle captures my thesis perfectly. The word "music" stands out the most followed with "parents," "students," "community," and so on. My thesis and content proposal are all about creating a community for parents, students, and the music teacher. This is done through media. This image captures the most important ideas of the content proposal and thesis.//**

The Wordie does an extraordinary job of capturing and emphasizing the main ideas of my content proposal. Reading is the main concept and is represented as such with the largest font giving it the most prominent display. Other main ideas are shown in fonts of decreasing size, again with the most important concepts having larger font sizes. Important sub concepts in descending order are: CAI, first-grade, phonics, intervention, achievement, and students. All of the words included are important to the proposal. It is an excellent word cloud or depiction of my project.



**Content Proposal Reflection - April 2010** I wanted the Wordle representation of my Thesis project to highlight certain terms. Student, retention, and service are the main themes of my thesis and final project and these are prominently revealed. The next most important terms are college, staff, and faculty. These 6 terms are the key to this service being meaningful for education and institutions and this Wordle rendition expresses the focus of my thesis and final project with great emphasis by focusing on these terms.

Content Proposal Reflection: This Wordle captures the essence of how e-learning can transform the learning experience and engage learners. The subject of my content proposal is a social studies e-course on the Civil Rights Movement which demonstrates a course that can be used to engage and educate at-risk learners. The words that stand out the most in the Wordle are "course", "project", "students", "e-learning", and "knowledge", which exemplify my belief in the Constructivist learning theory, and the use of project based, technology enriched learning tools to engage and motivate students. -LaQuita Monique Liles

Content Proposal Reflection April 2010

This rendition of my content proposal in Wordle captures the variety that Web 2.0 tools can have by the many colors. It also identifies the main audience of my media project: school administrators. My project is to educate school administrators on the use of social media tools and help them achieve a comfort level using these tools in their schools. Students remain prominent in the picture because in the end, this all about the students. It might refer to the educators as students, but ultimately, the students we want to engage and enrich are the ones in our classrooms everyday. -Ann Hamel



Content Proposal Reflection by Richard Hinkle April 2010
I believe that the Wordle seems to hit many of the themes, ideas and principles that I was trying to get across in my content proposal. In larger letters I see Internet, network, Facebook and most importantly, student. Even how certain words are juxtaposed to one another seems to be appropriate just above course is netiquette and inside the word course is responsibility. These are the exact points the proposal, project and thesis were getting at. I like this tool and cannot wait to try it with my students work. - Richard Hinkle

This is a great representation of my project and thesis. Words like gender, differences, brain, learning, intelligence, males and females are the backbone of my Udutu project and thesis. The bigger words represent the overall structure of the thesis: Gender Differences, and the smaller words support the ideas being told within the thesis and project. Educators learning about gender differences of males and females gaining knowledge and information about the human brain is all said in the Wordle.

Wordle did an excellent job of composing a visual picture of my content proposal and thesis. It clearly shows that my project was based upon improving communication with parents and teachers using technology. If you look closely, you can see that resources such as blogs, wikis, Twitter and webpages are all mentioned. I really enjoyed the color choice that was used and how the more prominent parts of my proposal are highlighted by their size and bright colors. - Katie Jensen



From this Wordle it can be deduced that my content proposal is about an online professional community for teachers. And it might also be deduced that collaboration and the use of Web 2.0 technologies play a role in the creation of that community. Unfortunately it misses the point that teachers have been reluctant to participate in online professional communities. Teachers would be more willing to participate in online professional communities if they had relevancy to their work in the classroom, provided tutorial support for teachers unfamiliar with the technologies, and had their school district’s support.
 * April_2010 Content Proposal Reflection by Carlos Mendoza**

The topic of my thesis is online ESL (English as a Second Language) course design and I think that Wordle did a fair job of visualizing the main ideas of my thesis. Words such as 'ESL', 'language', 'online', 'multimedia' stand out among others as they are key words of my thesis.

This content proposal looks a little different than my thesis ones. The main focus of the thesis is obviously music. The research aspect dealt with the language of music and literacy. Some of the same focuses can be found in this picture. This picture truly depicts the essence of the project. It is the written contemplations of the thesis in action. The focus shown here is lessons and students. Music is still the subject of the lessons but if I can successfully keep focus on the the needs of the students and give them skills to learn music, then I have reached this goal. **

 * April 2010 Content Proposal Reflection - By Justin K Miller**

My content proposal is for student interns to learn how to group video blog reflections and communicate with each other on Facebook. As such it was amazing to see this reflected though the image. I like how "Facebook learning" stands out with "communication online" and even UDUTU in between the words.

An image is worth a thousand words, and this image is nothing but words.

So what is a video of multiple word images worth?

The basis for my thesis was rooted in technology and that was the largest word that is in my Wordle from my content proposal. Other major words captured the reason for the technology in my thesis. My thesis, content proposal, and media project are all about teachers learning technology through online modules within school districts in order to be confident using technology in their own classroom. What I like about this picture is it shows the base of technology that is needed for teachers and school districts to build and learn upon.
 * April 2010 Content Proposal Reflection by Ryan Jackson**

What I like most about my Content Proposal Wordle is the emphasis on student. I believe that the student should be the main focus for any educator. The Wordle also emphasizes the word project. I have tried to change the focus of my teaching from lecture to project based and it has had a positive effect on the students. The central focus of the Wordle is student and project, which is the focus of my content proposal and media project.
 * April 2010 Content Proposal Reflection by Erik Cisney**



I am impressed by how Wordle generated the image for my Content Proposal “Using Web 2.0 in Iraq despite culture differences”. In my case, the image that Wordle applications generated looks like someone read my proposal in less than a second, and chose key words and terms that anyone can understand. This allows people to get a quick idea of what the proposal is about by just looking at the image. The randomize option is amazing and fun, and always generates new looks and colors. Nicholas Oaster – Content Proposal Reflection I think this wordle image shows that my content proposal captured the essence of my thesis. Both my content proposal and thesis are about students self-assessing their performance and using assessment skills to improve that performance. The technology used in my content proposal and suggested in my thesis are at the second tier of importance, in part, because of the large number of technology types stopped any one technology being predominate. I was a little surprised that music was not more a little more important, but not overly, as I did discuss a variety of topics in my thesis.



Adrienne Thurzo Content Proposal Reflection.

Overall I was extremely happy with my woordle image. I appreciate the fact that classroom is the largest because the focus for this project was on reducing paper waste in the classroom. I liked this layout best as I felt the extra words alloted by this layout gave a true sense of the proposal. I also appreciated the fact that paperless and classroom where grouped together.



=**Bianca Woods - Content Proposal Reflection**=

I felt my Wordle image focused on the content words that my media project revolved around, as my project is indeed a //customer skills media project// that uses a //game// to //practice// //skills// that must be performed under //stress//. The Wordle image essentially summarizes in the largest sized words both the focus of my project and my thesis itself.

It’s interesting to see that the words I personally felt reflected my content proposal’s focus were also those that I used most often in the proposal. I think it would have been alarming if it had been otherwise, and perhaps an indicator that the content proposal had gone off-topic.



Brian Cobb - Content Proposal Reflection
Making a visual representation for my content proposal was more fun than I anticipated. It's so simple and I feel it does a good job of explaining what I'm trying to accomplish. All the important keywords are there: students, math, game, vectors, etc. LIke Bianca, I'm glad to see the appropriate words being the largest in the picture. Using Wordle is a new and refreshing way to see if you paper is focusing on what it should be focusing on.



My media project fully reflects the ideas and conclusions of my content proposal and thesis. Students are and skills are the two major focuses of my thesis paper. My thesis was that students could develop 21st century skills through the use of Web 2.0 tools. This could be accomplished easily both inside and outside of the classroom with a class website. All of these important components are seen in this Wordle. As I look at this Wordle, I also notice there are numerous other things included that I knew were important, such as communication, media, society, and improve.




 * Domenic Colangelo Reflection:** It is amazing to me how this wordle application works and how it can summarize your paper in displaying those words. If a presenter was unsure about what terms were most important then they just need to plug their content into wordle and utilize those results. Now if you feel that there are important words that are not emphasized in the wordle image then it might be wise to reflect on whether those words were used enough in the content. For what its worth it just looks cool in wordle.
