#1 - Use Wordle to write "All About Me"
 _________________________________________________

Fourth grade students
spent classroom time
writing about their
strengths.

They put these writing
pieces in Wordle and made
posters and displayed them
on their lockers.



     Twitter Me!
#2 - Use Wordle to create a book quiz

Use sites like Project Gutenberg
and grab the text from copyright
free books
Paste into Wordle
Print and write a quiz (or use a
Google Docs Form!)
twitter me
#3 - Use Wordle to share criteria
Copy and paste grade related criteria into wordle to highlight
the main areas students need to concentrate on to gain the
best grades. Example is SQA criteria for General Writing in
#4 - Discuss reports with Wordle http://
wordle.net/create


@spu00rst suggested
wordling subject reports.

Here is a class set of mine
with names removed.

Good discussion point at
beginning or end of lesson.

#5 - Using Wordle and Etherpad to
share success criteria
Groups of students use
Assessment Objectives for their
coursework. They worked in
small groups to identify keywords
and terms.

Used Etherpad -
http://etherpad.com/
to collaborate and put in
keywords on shared pad.
Students then copy their
shared list of keywords into
Wordle and produce their
own Wordle cloud.
twitter me
#6 - Guess the French fairytale - then
use to highlight key words so students
#7 - Make the syllabus look interesting!

Copy and paste the entire syllabus into Wordle, print out as A3
(or larger) and use as part of a display.
#8 - Improve students' essay writing...

Copy and paste students' essays into Wordle - compare the
results and discuss what has/hasn't been included in the
essays...
#9 - Study an author's diction in-depth:
#10 - Have each student write
expectations he has of the
classroom. Combine all lists in
Wordle to create a Classroom
Norms poster or team t-shirts.
#11 - Find out what ideas are most important
in a famous speech. I used Wordle to make the
"word cloud" below out of the text from President
Obama's Feb 24, 2009 speech to Congress. I
chose a setting to display the 25 most frequently
used words in his speech. Glad to see that




 If you want a text
of his speech to

#12 - Defining Skills using Wordle

 Before the dictionary comes out, give your students a
 new vocabulary word and ask them to brainstorm all
 the words they associate with it. Gather up all the
 brainstormed words for a Wordle.

 After the term has been formally defined, repeat the
 process and compare to the "pre-dictionary" Wordle.

#13 - Summarizing Skills using Wordle

As a pre-reading exercise - copy/paste text of reading into a
Wordle and ask students to predict what the main ideas of the
reading will be.
Another pre-reading option - give them a Wordle of a non-fiction
reading and ask them to use the Wordle to generate a title or
headline before they see the real article.

Post reading - ask them to reflect on the reading based on a
prompt (examples - main idea, what you've learned, funniest
element, etc). Then collect all their reflections into a Wordle.


         Source: Build Literacy Skills with Wordle
#14 - Comparison Skills using Wordle
   Comparison skills - Give them two different accounts /
   essays on the same theme / event - let them compare the
   Wordles generated by each.

   Or you could generate Wordles for two different reading -
   then let student see if they can match the Wordle to it's
   corresponding reading.
                       Two Wordle tips:
1. Once you have created a Wordle right click a term to
remove it from the results. Wordle will re-compute w/o it.
2. Use ~ to connect two (or more) word into one term
                     Ex: literacy~strategy

#15 - Using Wordle for Classroom Polls
Very simple Early Childhood             Here is a Wordle Poll
Example.....                            example....
• Talk about favourite colours.          •    23 preschoolers and their
                                                  favourite colours...
• Each child then types their                   (lots of girls LOL)
  favourite colour into the text part
  of wordle.

• The wordle created automatically
  shows the most favoured colour.

• Other ideas - birthday month, fav.
  animals, hardest spelling word,
  feelings etc.
                                                      More info...
• Could easily adapt to higher tasks      http://www.k-3teacherresources.com/using-
                                                 wordles-for-classroom-polls.html
  and polls.
#16 - Use Wordle to compare/contrast themes in literature. For
example, Romeo & Juliet vs. West Side Story. Copy and paste
entire work into Wordle and get results.




                                                       @mjelson
#17 Act as archaeologists of a text's vocabulary
Wordle can be dynamic not just s t a t i c
 •   paste in a text, then use 'right-click' to remove words
 •   start with the most prominent (character names and
     the most common words)
 •   as you 'excavate' text, patterns and sets of
     vocabulary are revealed.




 Studying Sheridans The Rivals with an A-
 level class, we spent a whole lesson
 discussing which words to eliminate next
 and considering the thematic implications of
 the patterns of vocabulary that emerged.
                                                               www.antheald.com/blog
#18 - Analyze Your Presentation Notes
Students (or teachers) create a
slide presentation. The notes
are written in the Notes section
of the slide. Once the
presentation is ready, all notes
are copied and pasted into
Wordle. Students can analyze
where their words are repetitive
(such as like, love, or also) and
adjust their presentation notes.
It can be used as a teaser slide
at the beginning of the
presentation.

#19 - Create a Custom Image Header
for Your Blog
Use your class blog url to
create a Wordle and use the
resulting image as the custom
image header for your blog.
Change the header
periodically to reflect your
blog's changing themes and
content.

#20 - Compare History to Historical Fiction
Primary students often confuse the two. Have them make and compare Wordles - remind
them to make the genre title bigger by typing several times. Post to discuss, then post in
the hall or library. Can also make Wordles to compare Science Fiction and Fantasy, or
Folk Tales (Fairy Tale vs. Tall Tale; Myths vs Fables).




                                                                      @mtechman
#21 - Character Traits Analysis
Use Wordle to increase reading comprehension through Character Trait Identification.

 1. Write 5 most identifiable and
    important character traits for any
    character in text (assign different
    characters if done in Reading
    Group)
 2. Rank Traits from 1-5 of
    importance/relevance to text
 3. Go to WORDLE
 4. Type in Character 10x total then
    character trait Rank them in
    order of importance, most
    important or relevant would be
    five times and so on down to 1
 5. Screen Capture and share on
    wiki or blog.

#22 - Create Wordle Art




            Earth Day 2009 Billboard Winner.
  This poster was created by Sophie, a sixth grader in Portland, OR.
 She chose environmental concepts, submitted them to Wordle, and
 found a type style she liked. Once the Wordle was printed, Sophie
 taped it onto a window & traced the image. She drew on additional
#23 - Character description in the primary school...In
reading groups have students choose a character and
  add as many words as they can. Compare results-
  why do we know more about some than others? I
    used the Iron Man by Ted Hughes @melhutch
#24 - Define characteristics
In my American Lit. course, students have been defining what it
means to be an American in the various time periods. Using a
Google Form, students answer the question. This allows
individuals to share their own thinking & gives us a variety of
responses. Paste responses from the form into Wordle. Then
have students decide whether the class got the definition right
or not (by focusing on the
larger words.) Nice
summarizing & reflecting
activity.



@thespian70
#25 - collect French vocabulary

I have asked students to type topic vocabulary with the topic
word larger. Display their work on a wiki or a blog.
For pronunciation practice type words with the same sounds.
You can link words with a tilde ~ to keep them together eg
les~enfants The tilde doesn't show up but the words stay
together.

@kaymcmeekin
#26 - Do a "Wordle Walk"
                                Wordle the text of
                                the book youʼre
                                reading and instead
                                of a “picture walk”
                                do a “wordle walk.”
                                You can introduce
                                frequent vocabulary
                                and let kids predict
                                the story from the
                                combinations of
                                words they see in
Later, you can come back and    the WORDLE.
compare predictions with what
students actually read.

                                from: @fisher1000
#27 - Make a Unique Gift
If students are preparing for
a holiday like Christmas,
Motherʼs Day, Fatherʼs Day,
Valentineʼs Day, etc. They
could Wordle wedding
vows, family stories, favorite
love songs of their parents
or grandparents, or just the
names of the people in their
families to create a very
personal, but creative and
artistic gift thatʼs suitable
for framing. (And itʼs free!)

                    from: @fisher1000
#28 - Prioritize Curriculum




Teachers beginning the Curriculum Mapping Process could Wordle their
State Standards or Performance Indicators to begin the discussion of
creating a common language around the critical pieces of curriculum
that should be represented in every teacherʼs classroom.
from: @fisher1000
#29 - Compare for Bias/Social Studies
Social Studies teachers can Wordle news articles
from several sources and compare to look at bias or
to evaluate credible sources. These Wordles are of
Ashton Kutcher's recent win over CNN to reach
1,000,000 followers on Twitter. To the right is the
wordle of the FoxNews article, lower right is CNN,
and below is MSNBC.




        from: @fisher1000
#30 - New Levels of Interactivity
Wordle a collection of words that represent parts of speech. Change the colors to
white words on a black background in Wordle and print on an overhead
transparency. Project the Wordle onto a large sheet of butcher paper and ask the
kids to come and color nouns a certain color, verbs a different color, etc.  An
extension of  this would be to Wordle Characters and Character traits, print overhead
transparency and project. Use a color to connect characters with their specific traits.




                                                            from: @fisher1000
#31 - Power Writing Prompts
To encourage writing fluency, incorporate power writing into your daily program.
Enter vocabulary, science text, or poem text into Wordle . Display for students as
idea prompts.  Students think for thirty/sixty seconds, then write continuously for two
(or three/four) minutes without stopping without worry of conventions. Stop. Count
words. Repeat two more times.  For powerpoint on Power Writing information see
http://cli.gs/gLUAJ6 For more Wordle samples see http://cli.gs/gXt4YQ Sample is
Song of Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson




                                                                 @grammasheri
                                                                 teacher.se@gmail.com
#32 - Create an Audible Wordle
Select some text and create a Wordle. Then ask children to read
the Wordle, one word each, with volume and tone appropriate to
size and meaning of word. Record the result.
                                 (Idea first heard on BBC R4 iPM programme.)




                                                   If, by Rudyard Kipling
                                                   (Top 30 words,
                                                   inc common words)

                                                     neil@beaconict.co.uk
#33 - Spelling with Wordle
  Create and post your weekly spelling list using Wordle.
         (Use slide #30 for an extension activity!)
#34 - Wordle WORD WALLS!
                       Instead of a traditional "Word Wall," what
                       about a "Wordle Wall?" Using a student as
                       a "Wordle Recorder," have students
                       brainstorm definitions, adjectives, and
                       synonyms for words, type into the Wordle
                       Creator, along with the key word. Hang on
                       the wall so that students can get a
                       contextual reference of that class's
                       vocabulary.  (Very brain-based learning
                       technique: Engaging, Colorful, Motivating...)




   from: @fisher1000
#35 - Create a Learning Poster
                For my Open House this week I
                shared a Google docs document
                with the students and asked:

                "Write five words that describe
                what you learned to do, or what
                you learned, use verbs, nouns,
                facts, could be a skill or strategy."

                I created a Wordle with the result,
                downloaded the pdf file,
                converted it to a jpg and open it in
                Photoshop to make a large
                bulletin display although someone
                could also use http://
    @derrallg   www.blockposters.com/
#36 - Learn your vocabulary - MFL
                     English/German
                     Type the English and the
                     German words into a Wordle.
                     Choose your style b/w
                     capture or print
                     you can work in a graphic
                     programme or work on your
                     printed paper.
                     Make links between words.
                     Could use for any language.
                     @lebenslinie
#37 Give pupils a self-esteem boost & improve
relationships

Write each child's name on a separate sheet of paper. Circulate each sheet around the
class so each pupil writes at least 1 nice/+ve attribute about every other pupil. They can
repeat words others have used. Collect the sheets, type each pupil's list of attributes
(editing where necessary!) with their name x10 & Wordle the result. The pupils can use
them as exercise book cover art, and will treasure them forever. Works for secondary
too! @yzfreeman
#38 Clarify values for RE or ethics
Brainstorm a list of at least 25 personal values that the class feels are important to live
by, or use a checklist e.g. http://is.gd/NzeJ to select <50. Give each pupil a list of the
result to choose their top 5. Collate & Wordle the result. Gives a picture of those values
the class as a whole values most; or done separately for two or more groups/classes it
can compare/contrast the value systems of separate groups/classes: excellent debate
trigger. Or do the exercise in slightly amended form before & after exploring a particular
ethical topic to see how the class's values have changed as a result of their learning.
@yzfreeman
#39 Reflecting on Learning

If learners are keeping a blog or other form of journal on their
learning, it can be enlightening to Wordle the content every so
often to look for themes.
#40 Language News
Copy the frontpage of a news website in a second language
you learning. Pick out the most important / common vocab to
focus on...
#41 An alternative to a word search
                   Health and Safety Wordle

Forty Interesting Ways To Use Wordle In The C

  • 1. Forty Interesting Ways* to use Wordle in the Classroom _________________________________________________ *and tips This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike 3.0 License.
  • 2. #1 - Use Wordle to write "All About Me" _________________________________________________ Fourth grade students spent classroom time writing about their strengths. They put these writing pieces in Wordle and made posters and displayed them on their lockers. Twitter Me!
  • 3. #2 - Use Wordle to create a book quiz Use sites like Project Gutenberg and grab the text from copyright free books Paste into Wordle Print and write a quiz (or use a Google Docs Form!) twitter me
  • 4. #3 - Use Wordle to share criteria Copy and paste grade related criteria into wordle to highlight the main areas students need to concentrate on to gain the best grades. Example is SQA criteria for General Writing in
  • 5. #4 - Discuss reports with Wordle http:// wordle.net/create @spu00rst suggested wordling subject reports. Here is a class set of mine with names removed. Good discussion point at beginning or end of lesson. twitter me
  • 6. #5 - Using Wordle and Etherpad to share success criteria Groups of students use Assessment Objectives for their coursework. They worked in small groups to identify keywords and terms. Used Etherpad - http://etherpad.com/ to collaborate and put in keywords on shared pad. Students then copy their shared list of keywords into Wordle and produce their own Wordle cloud. twitter me
  • 7. #6 - Guess the French fairytale - then use to highlight key words so students
  • 8. #7 - Make the syllabus look interesting! Copy and paste the entire syllabus into Wordle, print out as A3 (or larger) and use as part of a display.
  • 9. #8 - Improve students' essay writing... Copy and paste students' essays into Wordle - compare the results and discuss what has/hasn't been included in the essays...
  • 10. #9 - Study an author's diction in-depth:
  • 11. #10 - Have each student write expectations he has of the classroom. Combine all lists in Wordle to create a Classroom Norms poster or team t-shirts.
  • 12. #11 - Find out what ideas are most important in a famous speech. I used Wordle to make the "word cloud" below out of the text from President Obama's Feb 24, 2009 speech to Congress. I chose a setting to display the 25 most frequently used words in his speech. Glad to see that If you want a text of his speech to try click here on my blog
  • 13. #12 - Defining Skills using Wordle Before the dictionary comes out, give your students a new vocabulary word and ask them to brainstorm all the words they associate with it. Gather up all the brainstormed words for a Wordle. After the term has been formally defined, repeat the process and compare to the "pre-dictionary" Wordle. Source: Build Literacy Skills with Wordle
  • 14. #13 - Summarizing Skills using Wordle As a pre-reading exercise - copy/paste text of reading into a Wordle and ask students to predict what the main ideas of the reading will be. Another pre-reading option - give them a Wordle of a non-fiction reading and ask them to use the Wordle to generate a title or headline before they see the real article. Post reading - ask them to reflect on the reading based on a prompt (examples - main idea, what you've learned, funniest element, etc). Then collect all their reflections into a Wordle. Source: Build Literacy Skills with Wordle
  • 15. #14 - Comparison Skills using Wordle Comparison skills - Give them two different accounts / essays on the same theme / event - let them compare the Wordles generated by each. Or you could generate Wordles for two different reading - then let student see if they can match the Wordle to it's corresponding reading. Two Wordle tips: 1. Once you have created a Wordle right click a term to remove it from the results. Wordle will re-compute w/o it. 2. Use ~ to connect two (or more) word into one term Ex: literacy~strategy Source: Build Literacy Skills with Wordle
  • 16. #15 - Using Wordle for Classroom Polls Very simple Early Childhood Here is a Wordle Poll Example..... example.... • Talk about favourite colours. • 23 preschoolers and their favourite colours... • Each child then types their (lots of girls LOL) favourite colour into the text part of wordle. • The wordle created automatically shows the most favoured colour. • Other ideas - birthday month, fav. animals, hardest spelling word, feelings etc. More info... • Could easily adapt to higher tasks http://www.k-3teacherresources.com/using- wordles-for-classroom-polls.html and polls.
  • 17. #16 - Use Wordle to compare/contrast themes in literature. For example, Romeo & Juliet vs. West Side Story. Copy and paste entire work into Wordle and get results. @mjelson
  • 18. #17 Act as archaeologists of a text's vocabulary Wordle can be dynamic not just s t a t i c • paste in a text, then use 'right-click' to remove words • start with the most prominent (character names and the most common words) • as you 'excavate' text, patterns and sets of vocabulary are revealed. Studying Sheridans The Rivals with an A- level class, we spent a whole lesson discussing which words to eliminate next and considering the thematic implications of the patterns of vocabulary that emerged. www.antheald.com/blog
  • 19. #18 - Analyze Your Presentation Notes Students (or teachers) create a slide presentation. The notes are written in the Notes section of the slide. Once the presentation is ready, all notes are copied and pasted into Wordle. Students can analyze where their words are repetitive (such as like, love, or also) and adjust their presentation notes. It can be used as a teaser slide at the beginning of the presentation. njtechteacher.blogspot.com @njtechteacher
  • 20. #19 - Create a Custom Image Header for Your Blog Use your class blog url to create a Wordle and use the resulting image as the custom image header for your blog. Change the header periodically to reflect your blog's changing themes and content. Michael Fawcett @teachernz glenview9
  • 21. #20 - Compare History to Historical Fiction Primary students often confuse the two. Have them make and compare Wordles - remind them to make the genre title bigger by typing several times. Post to discuss, then post in the hall or library. Can also make Wordles to compare Science Fiction and Fantasy, or Folk Tales (Fairy Tale vs. Tall Tale; Myths vs Fables). @mtechman
  • 22. #21 - Character Traits Analysis Use Wordle to increase reading comprehension through Character Trait Identification. 1. Write 5 most identifiable and important character traits for any character in text (assign different characters if done in Reading Group) 2. Rank Traits from 1-5 of importance/relevance to text 3. Go to WORDLE 4. Type in Character 10x total then character trait Rank them in order of importance, most important or relevant would be five times and so on down to 1 5. Screen Capture and share on wiki or blog. @mwacker Michael Wacker
  • 23. #22 - Create Wordle Art Earth Day 2009 Billboard Winner. This poster was created by Sophie, a sixth grader in Portland, OR. She chose environmental concepts, submitted them to Wordle, and found a type style she liked. Once the Wordle was printed, Sophie taped it onto a window & traced the image. She drew on additional
  • 24. #23 - Character description in the primary school...In reading groups have students choose a character and add as many words as they can. Compare results- why do we know more about some than others? I used the Iron Man by Ted Hughes @melhutch
  • 25. #24 - Define characteristics In my American Lit. course, students have been defining what it means to be an American in the various time periods. Using a Google Form, students answer the question. This allows individuals to share their own thinking & gives us a variety of responses. Paste responses from the form into Wordle. Then have students decide whether the class got the definition right or not (by focusing on the larger words.) Nice summarizing & reflecting activity. @thespian70
  • 26. #25 - collect French vocabulary I have asked students to type topic vocabulary with the topic word larger. Display their work on a wiki or a blog. For pronunciation practice type words with the same sounds. You can link words with a tilde ~ to keep them together eg les~enfants The tilde doesn't show up but the words stay together. @kaymcmeekin
  • 27. #26 - Do a "Wordle Walk" Wordle the text of the book youʼre reading and instead of a “picture walk” do a “wordle walk.” You can introduce frequent vocabulary and let kids predict the story from the combinations of words they see in Later, you can come back and the WORDLE. compare predictions with what students actually read. from: @fisher1000
  • 28. #27 - Make a Unique Gift If students are preparing for a holiday like Christmas, Motherʼs Day, Fatherʼs Day, Valentineʼs Day, etc. They could Wordle wedding vows, family stories, favorite love songs of their parents or grandparents, or just the names of the people in their families to create a very personal, but creative and artistic gift thatʼs suitable for framing. (And itʼs free!) from: @fisher1000
  • 29. #28 - Prioritize Curriculum Teachers beginning the Curriculum Mapping Process could Wordle their State Standards or Performance Indicators to begin the discussion of creating a common language around the critical pieces of curriculum that should be represented in every teacherʼs classroom. from: @fisher1000
  • 30. #29 - Compare for Bias/Social Studies Social Studies teachers can Wordle news articles from several sources and compare to look at bias or to evaluate credible sources. These Wordles are of Ashton Kutcher's recent win over CNN to reach 1,000,000 followers on Twitter. To the right is the wordle of the FoxNews article, lower right is CNN, and below is MSNBC. from: @fisher1000
  • 31. #30 - New Levels of Interactivity Wordle a collection of words that represent parts of speech. Change the colors to white words on a black background in Wordle and print on an overhead transparency. Project the Wordle onto a large sheet of butcher paper and ask the kids to come and color nouns a certain color, verbs a different color, etc.  An extension of  this would be to Wordle Characters and Character traits, print overhead transparency and project. Use a color to connect characters with their specific traits. from: @fisher1000
  • 32. #31 - Power Writing Prompts To encourage writing fluency, incorporate power writing into your daily program. Enter vocabulary, science text, or poem text into Wordle . Display for students as idea prompts.  Students think for thirty/sixty seconds, then write continuously for two (or three/four) minutes without stopping without worry of conventions. Stop. Count words. Repeat two more times.  For powerpoint on Power Writing information see http://cli.gs/gLUAJ6 For more Wordle samples see http://cli.gs/gXt4YQ Sample is Song of Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson @grammasheri teacher.se@gmail.com
  • 33. #32 - Create an Audible Wordle Select some text and create a Wordle. Then ask children to read the Wordle, one word each, with volume and tone appropriate to size and meaning of word. Record the result. (Idea first heard on BBC R4 iPM programme.) If, by Rudyard Kipling (Top 30 words, inc common words) @NeilAdam neil@beaconict.co.uk
  • 34. #33 - Spelling with Wordle Create and post your weekly spelling list using Wordle. (Use slide #30 for an extension activity!)
  • 35. #34 - Wordle WORD WALLS! Instead of a traditional "Word Wall," what about a "Wordle Wall?" Using a student as a "Wordle Recorder," have students brainstorm definitions, adjectives, and synonyms for words, type into the Wordle Creator, along with the key word. Hang on the wall so that students can get a contextual reference of that class's vocabulary.  (Very brain-based learning technique: Engaging, Colorful, Motivating...) from: @fisher1000
  • 36. #35 - Create a Learning Poster For my Open House this week I shared a Google docs document with the students and asked: "Write five words that describe what you learned to do, or what you learned, use verbs, nouns, facts, could be a skill or strategy." I created a Wordle with the result, downloaded the pdf file, converted it to a jpg and open it in Photoshop to make a large bulletin display although someone could also use http:// @derrallg www.blockposters.com/
  • 37. #36 - Learn your vocabulary - MFL English/German Type the English and the German words into a Wordle. Choose your style b/w capture or print you can work in a graphic programme or work on your printed paper. Make links between words. Could use for any language. @lebenslinie
  • 38. #37 Give pupils a self-esteem boost & improve relationships Write each child's name on a separate sheet of paper. Circulate each sheet around the class so each pupil writes at least 1 nice/+ve attribute about every other pupil. They can repeat words others have used. Collect the sheets, type each pupil's list of attributes (editing where necessary!) with their name x10 & Wordle the result. The pupils can use them as exercise book cover art, and will treasure them forever. Works for secondary too! @yzfreeman
  • 39. #38 Clarify values for RE or ethics Brainstorm a list of at least 25 personal values that the class feels are important to live by, or use a checklist e.g. http://is.gd/NzeJ to select <50. Give each pupil a list of the result to choose their top 5. Collate & Wordle the result. Gives a picture of those values the class as a whole values most; or done separately for two or more groups/classes it can compare/contrast the value systems of separate groups/classes: excellent debate trigger. Or do the exercise in slightly amended form before & after exploring a particular ethical topic to see how the class's values have changed as a result of their learning. @yzfreeman
