Wordle
Wordle
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
Program Goals
Goal #1: Graduates of the program should be able to identify, analyze, and explain (a) successful curricular models and instructional strategies and explore the basis for their success, and (b) curricular and instructional problems impeding the improvement of learning and teaching in classrooms and schools and propose sound solutions.
Reflection
This website is more of a “just for fun” site. I have not used this website to its full potential. Some ideas for this site was to help students identify the words they overuse in their writing, or to create word finds. A teacher could create math vocabulary, reading vocabulary, science unit, or social study unit posters using this website.
