Last week in Wimba session, our instructor showed a Web 2.0 tool by the name of Wordle. Curiosity lead to searching the site and finding it to be a great tool for students or just anyone. Once you go to the site, they have create wordle or you can create one yourself. 
 So with playing I found some words that was in an old document about for a science lesson.
It was not many words but this is an example of what a wordle can look like. It can have many words or just a couple of words. 
 Also, it lets you change the color, font, layout and background.  This is one tool that I can use for many different projects and lessons. This is a great tool for educators.
Wordle can be used at home, school, and the workplace. At home it can be used to help students with learning new words. For example, you can get different words out of the dictionary. For educators to use in the classroom, it would be a great tool for showing vocabulary words and students would get a kick out of how the different words are on display. In the workplace, a trainer can use wordle to show key words in manuels and documents. This is a tool with many different aspects that a person can use.

Such as Ken Burns, audio, and video clipping. Using iMovie is a great tool for old dvds and wanting to put those photos into a dvd. I will be watching the other tutorial on iMovie so I can become better acquaint with all of it.

It showed where the marker is located and how to add it to the video. iMovie has many galleries of music and well as iTunes that can be used as you put your video together.
