Wordle

Wordle.net is a way for students to display their knowledge in a fun way. Students can type words or cut and paste words into a text box. When they submit the words they appear randomly in different patterns. Words that are most frequently used appear larger in the pattern.

This Wordle is one created by one of my first grade students. The students learned about winter throughout the week. We wrote words on chart paper that had to do with winter. I took the chart with the winter words to the computer lab. The student each wrote words into their Wordle. I printed each student's Wordle to post next to a snowman art project and a traditional writing project. Additionally, the students blogged about what they know about winter, Winter Writing Blog.
