BP4


Last week in Wimba session, our instructor showed a Web 2.0 tool by the name of Wordle. Curiosity lead to searching the site and finding it to be a great tool for students or just anyone. Once you go to the site, they have create wordle or you can create one yourself. 
 So with playing I found some words that was in an old document about for a science lesson.
It was not many words but this is an example of what a wordle can look like. It can have many words or just a couple of words. 
 Also, it lets you change the color, font, layout and background.  This is one tool that I can use for many different projects and lessons. This is a great tool for educators.
Wordle can be used at home, school, and the workplace. At home it can be used to help students with learning new words. For example, you can get different words out of the dictionary. For educators to use in the classroom, it would be a great tool for showing vocabulary words and students would get a kick out of how the different words are on display. In the workplace, a trainer can use wordle to show key words in manuels and documents. This is a tool with many different aspects that a person can use.

  1. This is so cool! I have never heard of it before. As we all know sometimes learning new words is boring. Wordle definitely changes that. Thank you for bringing this one to our attention. Nice post!
