Education: Go Get It! Week @ CeVMS

The students of CeVMS focused on getting an education during Education: Go Get It! Week and told us where they were thinking about, planning on, dreaming of, hoping to attending college one day. During advisory or on their own, students visited the Cedar Valley home page and placed their vote in the Answer Garden widget. Here's what it looked like on the Cedar Valley Homepage:



The cool thing about this application is that it is free, it doesn't require a log in (unless you'd like to have some administrative rights), and it creates a great word cloud (interactive and print)!

After polling was closed, the answers were exported easily to Tagxedo to create this great image:



Another cool part of EGGI Week was seeing all the places that Cedar Valley Staff and Faculty members attended college. A map of all of these post-secondary institutions was created and shared through Batchgeo.com. With this site, one can easily copy and paste a spreadsheet of information into the site and create a map. The map can then be exported as a Google Earth file. Check out our map:
