another way to use WORDLE in education

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.

Complete guide and examples for successful Wordle creation.

I often play Wordle as this simple but sometimes tricky game helps me to distract myself. It is also fun and educational. I am new to this game so I use the word finder tool https://word-finder.com/words-that-end-in/rex/ from time to time. But I have already noticed my skills improved.

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?

Idea posted to a blog about using Wordle for getting the gist of a weather forecast. The author has taken the words from a weather forecast and asks the students why they think certain words are larger than others.

This is an interesting post. Thinking you would get wider viewing in another group. This group is for Wordle associated articles. Hope that helps guide you.

sorry Sheryl, I mistakenly added it to the group.

students studying the concept of character; used backgrounds and placed a Wordle on top; very creative project. this is a complex use of image editing and wordle, yet I think it would a great project.

I hope that this solution works for the majority of Wordle users. I am, certainly, excited to get back in the classroom and try this out with the kids. I think they are going to LOVE it! Becky
