This tool can help our students to generate a text from a set of ideas. They also can use all of these words to create a text, like setting a brainstorming session. I believe that creating a poster to present words as in a wordle can help students to always remember key words from an already taught lesson. The wordle you can see at the top of this posting was made within seconds, I gave myself 10 seconds to write some words representing what teaching is for me. Below is an example of how I could use a wordle to reteach a concept, to reinforce key vocabulary or to make my students review vocabulary from a lesson in Spanish to English.
Have you thought about having students copy a passage into Wordle and possibly identify the main idea from the Wordle created?
ReplyDeleteI have also heard about teachers having students copy their writing into Wordle to identify overused words in their writing.
