My first contribution to the UTechTips site! On to the Tips… Apparently, I am very late on the bus with this particular tool However, I looked at whether it had been covered on UTechTips and I think that often with Web 2.0 tools, we find that we are bringing in new readers in our faculty ALL THE TIME. So how do they go back and discover new tools or read some of the great posts of our past?

"Liar by Justine Larbalestier is one of those books that you finish reading and then keep thinking about. Readers ask each other, "So what did you think it was about?"" Responses will be accumulated and evaluated using WORDLE

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.

contains a WORDLE using the advanced feature, along with a variety of other language lessons, developments and activities

There are a variety of excellent activities and lessons that I would encourage our members to read. Welcome Steve Neufeld to our WORDLE group.

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.

"Doesn't each writer hope that people find their blog interesting and helpful? I believe the answer is yes. Besides writing an interesting article, it helps to make the blog posting accessible through the reader's use of search engines and access to related articles as they read your blog posting."

a neat way to use wordle with books

Assessment is one of the best ways to use WORDLE. I like to hear of teachers experiences with that aspect of using WORDLE. This is an alternative form of assessment that gives you immediate feedback on increasing vocabulary. Great stuff.

one question that caught me a little off guard. Why would I use this in my class?
