Wordle and New Ideas

26 Mar 2009

I've been a fan of Wordle since I first saw it but it's hard to figure out the best ways to integrate it into the classroom. Not to worry! I just came across this Tweet from @tombarrett

A great early years example added to "Fifteen Interesting Ways* to use Wordle in the Classroom"

Which led me to this GoogleDocs presentation.

This is a great way to address the multiple modes of interacting with text and a quick way to compare texts. Now, we just need something that figures out if those are synonyms that have been used so frequently! Guess we'll need teachers for a few months more!
