Explanation (ELABORATE): In my 1:1 biology classroom we are beginning to study nuclear structure and function. After initially reviewing mitosis and basic nuclear structure with my students, students were asked to develop vocabulary associated with such and then create a Wordle. The Web 2.0 tool emphasizes scientific literacy and vocabulary building while also allowing creativity. Student Wordles were posted on my 1:1 classroom blog.

Nice job, Joselyn. I didn't think about how I would publish my students' work. A blog would be perfect for this. - Randy Joselyn, have you thoughts about having the students compare the Wikipedia article about mitosis (as created by Wordle) to one of your student's Wordles. This might be interesting.
