Global Classroom task: March 2011 1. Using Rachel Scott's "Code of Ethics' as a starter, students should begin drafting or brainstorming words or concepts that they believe should or could be in their personal Code of Ethics. 2. Using Wordle, we get students to design a collection of phrases from Codes, or concepts they value – and use wordle to design (colour/font/placement) of an image which could become printed on a T-shirt and sold to raise funds for a charity or peacekeeping group. 3. Each student will send their teacher an image that they have created which will be uploaded to shutterfly or the shared wiki site, and before the end of the week students will vote for the top three designs.

Sample wordle based on Ms Wordsworth's Code of Ethics:
