practical application of WORDLE using n2teaching delicious tags

Layne P. Heiny explains the history of the word, WORDLE, as well as discussing the author of this web application

A couple of months ago, my network of teachers went a little bit nuts over a new web2.0 application called Wordle. I blogged about it, as did many others.

Wordle is a neat application that allows you to paste text in and it will create a tag cloud formation with the most used words appearing larger than others.

@bookjewel has developed a new wiki for educators and collaboration on teaching ideas. She used a web application called imagechef to make WORDLES in various shapes. Hers is a star; very cool!

…Word Clouds in Education Series: Part 1 | 21 st Century Educational Technology and Learning  In this series of posts I will cover: 12 Tips in Using Wordle  (Some you may now… but other you may not.) Over 10o ways  to use Word Clouds in the classroom There is more to Word Clouds then Wordle… other awesome word cloud generators Beyond word clouds… cool sites and applications to integrate word clouds

Thanks for sharing! Try starting with a word that contains one of the vowel letters and two of the consonant letters. The most common consonants are S, T, R, D, L and then there are five vowels (A, E, I, O, and U). Also, try to end each word with an S or an R so it flows well from one letter/word to another. Check out this website https://word-finder.com/words-that-start-with/j/ if you are stuck and can't find the word.

Educators and students can use WORDLE in a variety of ways, including assessment, evaluation and presentation. WORDLE can be a powerful tool for learning and teaching. By forming this group, collaboration will increase our knowledge and use of this web application.

Wordle is a great tool to use in numerous ways. Students enjoy it as well as teachers. It allows you to be very creative in a number of subjects.

An example of maniupulting the output from a collocates/pattern table in Just the Word as input for the ADVANCED feature of WORLDE.

Hi Sheryl - glad you found it useful. You are quite right about the spreadsheet idea...I tend to use EXCEL and some of the basic TEXT, LOOKUP and FILTER options to manipulate lexical data I get from various sources. I did leave several suggestions for PHIL at the JustTheWord user group in GOOGLE to make the 'mash up' between JTW and WORDLE more seamless. But, as you suggest, copying and pasting the data into a spreadsheet is the only way to do this at the moment. Spreadsheets aren't everyone's cup of tea, but perhaps we could provide a template for the faint at heart, which can make it easier.... I also use the same technique to extract 'sets' from Mark Davies corpus sites at http://corpus.byu.edu as well as vocabulary profiles at Tom Cobb's Lextutor site at http://lextutor.ca -- Of course, PC-based software like ANTCONC and ANTWORDPROFILE also output data that can easily be manipulated into the ADVANCED feature of WORDLE. Here are some WORDLEs in my public gallery that show the results...the ones contrasting OBAMA and McCAIN speeches are quite interesting. http://www.wordle.net/gallery?username=BNL2709 My background is EFL, so I find other sources of lexical sets like http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=mouse&btn=Shrink+Set+%28to+15+items+or+fewer%29 also useful as input to WORDLE. :)

I'll look over these resources. Yes, I made WORDLES of Obama and McCain. I think one reason these types of web applications are so interesting is to view the ways in which we teach and learn....what our commonalities are.

"Concordle has one point common with Wordle: it makes word clouds. But these are only text, and in a browser in general the choice of fonts is limited, so the clouds are not so very pretty. But it is much more clever: All the words in the cloud are clickable, i.e. they have links to concordancer function. "

Quirky little javascript, but I am using this as a way to introduce students to the notion of word frequency and the application of a KWIC. See 'wikisheet' at http://kristinaweb20.pbworks.com/activity+-+introduction+to+ddl for an 'introduction to data-driven learning' with a Concordle task.
