Wordle Site38 Interesting Ways to Use Wordle in the Classroom
5 Reasons to use Wordle (entire article) Paraphrase below - As a means of summarising the content of an essay or other piece of work.
- Wordle is handy for self-reflection. Paste your essay in Wordle.
- In the same way, Wordle can be used by the teacher as a means of assessment. Ask a pupil to create a Wordle of her presentation, and use that as the basis for a discussion, rather than the presentation itself. The beauty of this approach is that you don't get bogged down in the minutiae, and end up losing sight of the forest through concentrating on the trees.
- Wordle is also good for summarising survey results where the survey uses free text fields.
- Also, I think it's important to illustrate one's work with a picture of some kind, and a Wordle is just as good a way as any to break up the text a bit!
