Cloud fun
I had my first go at using wordle tonight, it was fun. I think it could be used as a way to get some students hooked on a new topic. I was thinking that if I gave them the wordle before they started a topic and had them do some research on the words to see if they could make some kind of connection between them that they might discover some relationships beyond the standard curriculum. I tried to post the image but it wouldn't let me, not sure about the copy right stuff of posting either so maybe its a good thing it didn't work.

That's a great idea! I introduced it to my tech class and had the kids write words about themselves, which they really liked. But then the district blocked it!
Did you notice the anti-bullying Wordles outside the Anwatin Media Center last night? I ment to pint them out. Cool use similar to what you mentioned. Is it blocked?--That would be a real bummer.
Yes, Wordle is now blocked. So typical!
