    Wordle is a great Web 2.0 tool to motivate students to look at word choice in their writing. The words that are used frequently, are displayed larger in the word cloud.

    Wordle is a site for creating "word clouds." Paste text into the site and it will automatically create a word cloud. The larger words indicate the words that are used frequently in the text. Students can put a piece of writing to see which words are overused. There is a gallery to display your wordle with everyone.

    Wordle helps create word clouds. You enter words and the more often a word is entered, the larger the word will appear in the word cloud. It's a fun way to make posters that are fun and informative. It would be a good way to have students create posters over books they've read, end of the unit displays, etc. One tip that I received for Wordle is that it is helpful to type your words in a Word document first so that you can edit them and make sure they are all spelled correctly. If you have a typo in your Wordle, you can't edit it. You have to retype all of the words.

    Great for listing words to a related topic. Have used it to make Mother's Day card with the students.
