Wordle

I liked the wordle website that we played around with as a class. I think students would really like to use it because it's kind of like an art project and I thought of some ways to incorporate it into a lesson. You can use this as a before and after comparison of a lesson. For example, if you're teaching geography, you can have the students use wordle and type in as many countries they can think of before you teach the unit. After the unit is over, the students can do the same thing again, and compare how many more countries they now know from before the lesson. It's a great way for them to see an improvement in their work but have the freedom to be creative with the design and colors. This could also work for elements of the periodic table, famous authors, for younger children, animals, colors, state capitals, etc.
