MacNed 2008 Wordle Gallery

Wordle: macned2008 wiki
This  gallery of images was created from the students written assignments at the MacNed wiki,
I used it to compare and assess the Macedonian and the Dutch student  draft pages. Informative indeed. 

To pre-teach new vocabulary on a certain topic  just throw out a reading text, and wordle creates a fine- looking image with the key concepts of the theme. I did a lesson on " Is honesty always the best policy?" Wordle works in any language. 

Teachers need such tools, though I feel my students would have benefited more  if Internet had worked at my school and they could do this themselves. 

Hoping for faster bandwidth, which I doubt will happen soon.
