I really enjoy this tool. This could be used as an introduction activity for any age really. It is really easy to use and it is a creative way to introduce yourself and the things you like.
All you do is in the box provided, you write anything you want about yourself or an activity. The more times a word appears in the box the larger that word will be in the final product, making it easy to see what is really important to people.
There is a down fall to wordle. You are unable to save your wordle in a place where you can access it later, meaning we would have to finish in class and present. Or we have the option of printing out our wordle so we can present the next day.
This would be a different way to introduce ourselves as teachers on the first day of class. It seems like everyone pretty much has a set way of doing that. This is just another option.

This tool will help build students vocabulary. Great!
ReplyDeleteI think this has a lot of different applications in a classroom. It is too bad that you cannot save these someone for future use. That would be a great way for students to be preparing at home and school.
