A while back in this class we learned how to use Wordle. Wordle is a very cool website. You can use it to make "word jumbles" or "word clouds." It is very easy to use. You just type in the words you want to show up, and choose how you want it to look. The more times you type the same word, the bigger the word appears in your wordle. The bigger the word is, the more important the word is supposed to be.
I think Wordle could be incorporated into my classroom some day very easily. My students or I could use this to help with vocabulary words. It would be a fun way to remember vocab words, and also an easy way to students to know what words they should know.
The only bad thing about Wordle is that if you publicly save your work, it is almost impossible to find it later. So it is easiest to do a screen capture, which is best to do on a Mac. I don't have a Mac, so that is kind of a bummer. My Wordle(s) look good, but you also get the outline of the internet browser you are using as well.
