Wordle

Wordle is a fun tool that allows students to create a word cloud. Words that are used the most within a writing appear the largest on the screen. This is an easy tool for students to edit their own writing and eliminate words that are used repeatedly. Students can simply cut and paste their writing into wordle and a word cloud is created with the click of a button. Visit www.wordle.net to give it a try!

Kristi Peery and I used Wordle today and it was great. Easy to use and such a cute product. Thanks for sharing!

Wordle is great for student writing samples. Students can look for words that they use TOO often in their writing and look for synonyms to use.
