Wordy World of Wordle

Wordle is a Web 2.0 tool that allows you to create your own word clouds. Word clouds can be used in many different ways in the classroom. It is a fun and creative way to present information to your children in the class. If you have a younger class they are going to be more interested in the topic at hand if you present the material in a new and fun way. As a teacher, you can use Wordle to present your class rules, do an about me page, present a story/speech, list your spelling words. There are endless possibilities for the uses of Wordle and word clouds. Give your students a chance to speak their mind and let out a creative side.

Here is an example of an about me word cloud.
