I absolutely LOVE Wordle. I use Wordle as my opening activity in all of my online and face-to-face classes as a way for students to introduce themselves and get to know each other based on their passions both educationally and personally. It works to bond groups of students with common interests. Today, I was reading my Tech & Learning Magazine that I subscribe to (Yes, it's free) and an article by Steve Anderson focused on why to use Wordle in education. A number of teachers gave suggestions on how they use Wordle. The ideas were inspiring, even though I don't have an immediate plans to use Wordle other than how I currently do, there are some fabulous ideas posted and it's well worth checking out. Terry Friedman also wrote an article for Tech and Learning on 5 ways to use Wordle for educational purposes. Below is a slideshow on 43 ways to use Wordle in the Classroom.
