Wordle

=WORDLE = Jill Sutton I chose Wordle as my Web 2.0 tool. I think this would be a great tool to use with younger students when they are learning how to use describing words (adjectives). Students could be divided into groups and each creates their own Wordle to print and hang up. Once all the Wordles are hung up let students read them in groups and try to guess what they are describing. There were also some suggestions on the website by people who use Wordle. One teacher said she uses it at the beginning of the year to welcome her class. Students could also describe people for holidays i.e.: Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Nurse’s Day and print to give that person. Wordle was very easy to use I typed a list of words describing personalities in a word document. I then copy/pasted them into the box provided. Users are also able to use items from a blog or their del.icio.us account to create wordless along with posting your own words. After inserting your words the user is able to decide how they would like the words to appear; font, word direction, and color. You may then print your Wordle or save it to the gallery. Users are also able to see and print other users Wordles.
