More Wordle Ideas

Wordle is a good tool for creating visual representations of the most commonly used words in a document or on a website. Amy Meyer wrote a great post about Wordle on this blog back in February. Rather than rehash what Amy said, I'll encourage you to read her excellent post here.

This morning, from Mindy Stevens, I learned about a great slide presentation on using Wordle in the classroom. The presentation, created by Jennifer Wagner, gives a brief introduction to Wordle and ideas for using Wordle in the K-6 classroom. The presentation is embedded below. RSS readers will need to click through to view the presentation.

Thanks for the ideas.

I have also written a post about using Wordle for writing assessment. See it here http://web.me.com/grundy.ben/Ben_Grundys_Professional_Portfolio/BLOG/Entries/2009/5/10_Wordle_for_writing_assessment.html
