Wordle is a great tool that all teachers can use in their classrooms and use with students. Wordle is a tool for generating word clouds. The greatest thing about this Web 2.0 tool is that you don’t need to log in to anything. You simply go to the website, click Create and start creating your word cloud. When you are done you can take a screen shot (command+shift+4) of the image and save it to your computer, then print it or add to your website or blog.
Ideas for Classroom use:
- brainstorm starter to a new unit/KWL
- reflections
- poetry
- spelling words
- synonyms
- characters in a book
This is a fabulous slideshare presentation with many ideas for integrating Wordle into your teaching.
Good luck and be sure to share your wordles with me!
