Reflection #4: Quozio

Link To The Website: http://quozio.com/

The tool that I will be sharing with you this week is Quozio.  This site allows you to turn meaningful words into beautiful images and then they can be printed or shared via Facebook, Pintrest, e-mail, etc.  When you go to the website, two boxes will appear.  The first box is where you type in the quote you want to use and the second box is where you type in the name of the person who said the quote.  Then using the text you entered, you will be shown a plethora of images that enhance the quote by changing the font and the background that the text is displayed on.  You can also use the Bookmark feature which lets you create an image simply by highlighting text from a webpage or document. In order to use this feature, you do have to install it. Once you find an image style that you feel best matches the quote, you are able to share it very simply and easily.  There is no need to create an account to be able to use this website.

This is a video that shows you how to use the site:

This website could be used for Information Processing in the Learning phase.  It can be used to visually share inspirational quotes to hang around the classroom.  It could also be used to create a nice way of presenting classroom rules, procedures, and agreements after the class comes up with them at the beginning of the school year.  Students could use it to share a quote with the class that was said by someone they are researching for a biography project.  In this way, it is very versatile.  I will definitely use this to enhance inspirational quotes for my classroom.

Here are a few quotes that I made with the site:
