October 2, 2008 post. Detailed description (and video) of a vocabulary game using wordle word clouds. The blogger had created a wordle and covered up the words with with rectangles. Students came to the SMARTBoard one at a time to touch the rectangle and reveal a word. Then they used a spinner to tell them what to do with the word: to use the word in a sentence, tell how many syllables, or give a synonym or antonym. The rectangles were colour coded by degree of difficulty so the teacher could differentiate instruction. You can download the Notebook file, and the blogger promises a tutorial for this idea.

This is so easy but a really effective way to engage students with their spelling lists. Love it!

It's like the central themes of the text, surrounded by their context, almost leap off the page and hit the viewer like a perspective from another dimension. this is not an education post, yet I like the wordles of Martin Luther King, Jr (I Have a Dream) speech and others

"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
