Answer Garden

     Answer Garden is one of my favorite new discoveries!  This is a web-based tool as well as a free iPad app that It will allow teachers to set up a question, prompt, etc. and students can put in a 20 character answer.  The app then creates a word cloud that displays all student answers. The more a word is used, the
larger it gets. What an awesome way for students to share vivid verbs, descriptive adjectives,WOW words,words to describe a character, brainstormed ideas, etc. Then they can screen shot the word cloud for
use as a resource later!  Check out the example below done as students shared the vivid verbs in their writing!
