Week 2 - Wordle


This week we played with Wordle. Wordle is an online tool that allows you to make word clouds. Teachers may be able to use this to make mini word walls for a subject area. They may also use it as we did in class as a culmination to an ice breaker.

We had piece of paper taped to our back, and classmates had to write words that described us on that piece of paper. We entered the words into the Wordle tool and it gave us a word cloud of words describing us. It allows you to tweak the word cloud's layout, and fonts. The results are beautiful and I am thinking up different ways to use this because the results were so attractive.

Total 10!
