W HAT IS W ORDLE?
Wordle is a tool that looks at the text provided (students can type in words that
describe themselves; words that describe what they want to learn; words that
describe a time in history they are learning about; their vocabulary words they are
having a difficult time with; words that describe a country they are learning about)and generates a “word cloud” summary from those words. The word cloud gives
greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You
can change the font , change the layout, and change the color scheme. Once you
have created your “word cloud” the students can take a screenshot to save and
paste into an application or save to Paint/Photoshop to then save as a jpg image to
use in a project — PowerPoint, Slideshare, PhotoStory, Blog, Wiki, etc. Or, they can
choose to print it out and make a bulletin board in the classroom of the words.
W AYS OF USING W ORDLE
The following are some possible ways of using Wordle:
1. Summarizing the content of an essay or any piece of work. Useful way of
telling people what the essay is about.
2. Wordle can be used by the teacher as a means of assessment. Student creates
a Wordle of their presentation and uses that as the basis for a discussion.
3. Self Reflection.
4. Summarizing survey results from text fields.
5. Illustrate a student’s writ ing with a picture (Julia 2009).
6. Improve vocabulary and develop knowledge by taking the text from
documents or webpages and makes them into word clouds to help remember
the texts you read (Nik Peachey 2008).
