What in the Wordle is that?
I really enjoyed this tool (thanks to Juliet for helping me out) and think it will be a useful way to engage students in brainstorming activities or to display information creatively. It is so easy to use and the finished product is as engaging as the creation process itself. Everyone should give this a go as it could be the perfect way for students to actively engage in activities such as spelling and identifying patterns that emerge, a great visual stimulant.

Hey Brooke
ReplyDeleteI used wordle in my class today, it was such a success! We firstly started by playing around with all the names of our peers in our class. Next we thought of all the things that came to mind when we saw the word space (our unit of work this term. We now have a fantastic word wall!) and finished by displaying our spelling words for the week. This worked so well and now some of the students can already correctly spell some of their words. It is great to see the usually unengaged students enjoying learning their spelling words again. What a great way this was to refresh my learner's minds towards spelling!
Thank you
Hey Brooke,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you found my blog useful and created a lesson that reignited your learners interest in spelling! We all know how tedious and frustrating it can be sometimes when you can't remember how to spell something.
Isn't it funny how by participating in an activity that you don't really perceive as being educational can be beneficial in actually scaffolding learning.
