Making this wordle was fun, but saving it was an interesting process since I've never done this before. The wordle has a lot of options for uses. I thought about using it for prediction of a topic and then doing one after the students have learned about the topic and then comparing the two to see the differences and to see the before and after learning. It could also be used in learning new vocabulary. (synonyms/antonyms). I can see students really remembering words and their synonyms if they did it this way. Each student could make their own and have their own "wordle dictionary" Anything that is different than the way kids normally do things (paper/pencil) will capture their attention and really get them paying attention to their learning and want them to learn.
Did you not expect me to somehow put MJ in this? Seriously, I thought kids might have fun doing this when they are studying about a topic. Kids could put several images together and discuss key/important points learned about a topic. It's a fun way to write about what they learned versus just writing down in a journal. There's all kinds of pictures for them to use. What a new and innovative way for kids to discuss what they've learned! I don't think they will have time to be talking to their friends or drawing pictures. They'll be so into doing this, they'll forget that they are actually learning.
