2) Using tagxedo, create a word cloud using notes and also list things that have sound energy. 3) Post word cloud on Edmodo || Please identify opportunities for differentiation. || ||
 * **Title**: ||< Using Tagxedo to make a word cloud ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Science ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 3rd ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< 20-30 minutes ||
 * **Summary:** ||< The kids watch a video and wrote down notes on sound energy. Using the sound energy notes, they made a word cloud on the information and then find different things that have sound energy. After creating the word cloud, they were to post their word cloud on Edmodo. I've responded to the students' word clouds by "reacting" with a "reaction." ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1) Watch a video on sound energy and take notes.
 * Objectives: ||< * ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning?
 * Resources: ||< * Computer ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || I wish that we had enough computers for all the kids to do the activity at once. We went to the library to use the computers and even those had some that weren't charged (due to the COW that didn't properly charge). Although we've already used Tagxedo before to make word clouds, the students were very dependent on the teacher to help save instead of asking others around them. Next time, I can have them critique theirs and others around them on the word cloud. ||
