=[|Wordle]= Above is a link to a wordle on arts education. Though I tried a dozen different ways to "capture" the wordle or embed it to this wiki, I was not able to post a picture of it directly on this page. Any hints?

As an art teacher, I think this tool would be useful as a way to visually present the observations and insights students make during art critique sessions. Because it generates a concrete picture of the collective mind of a class (or an individual) at any given point in a course of study, this tool could be used as a pre- and post assessment device to measure growth of vocabulary development and concept awareness in relation to the work studied. Its engaging graphic quality and ease of use will motivate students and validate their own commentary, their own ability to thoughtfully detail the qualities of an artwork, to pose questions and interpretations, and make sound judgments about its worth and success.
