Wordle...

**﻿**



**Wordle is a program which you place text in and it randomly generates words from the text according to specifications which you the user decide on. I had seen the Worlde creations before, but thought it was something that women did for creative fun. To my suprise this is a GREAT tool to use to spark interest in reading in the classroom. I am going to begin a unit in the next 4 weeks on Weather in my science class. I plan on using a book, "Can You Survive Storm Chasing An Interactive Survival Adventure", which allows the students to choose the path of the story to see what happens as part of my RTI class. I created a Worlde to print off and display in my classroom so that the kids will be able to look at the words listed in the book. I hope to peek their interest in the topic by doing this. Listed below is the link to the Wordle.**

Storm Chasing Wordle

[]
 * From my persepective I can see only positive things about Wordle. For one, the creator can copy text from the book or an excerpt from one to create a Wordle. Wordle's are easy to make and also serve to brighten up any classroom in which they are used. Another pro of Wordle is that its designed so you the educator can choose what topics you want to emphasize and any teacher knows that if you can customize a topic to your students then you can peek their interests over generic materials. Overall, I would highly recommend this as a great asset in the classroom. **
