Dog Project Questions

There were technology issues today. I wanted students to use some word cloud programs and post their creations to a wiki that I made. The wiki would not load so students could not post their creations. We printed some out but we don't have a color printer. So.....we will see what happens tomorrow.
Students used black-text and word mosaic to make word clouds. The links to these are under learning links
