Wordle
Wordle is an online tool, which generates a picture using the most common words from a document, blog or website. The image created can then be edited to change the font, layout and colour sceame. Wordle has limited classroom uses, as it is basically just a way to present words.
Wordle can be used to present all different types of words. This provides the opportunity to use wordle to present things like:
- Key Words
- Spelling Words
- Student Names
- Goups (Months, days of the week, seasons)
Wordle can also be used to find the most common words used in a text, as the more a word is used the bigger it appears in the Wordle image. This can be seen below where 'Words' is bigger than all the other words in the image. This can be used to find the key words in a specific text.
