We love Wordles

Wordle1


Today I had a Grade 7 class and to start off the lesson I decided that they should summarise their summer holidays in the form of ‘Wordles’. Wordle.com offers this amazing programme free, and I have learned more about it from other Edubloggers such as Kevin Cummins. who wrote extensively about the programme on his amazing blog. The Grade 7s loved the experience. The only sad thing is that there is no way to save these lovely wordles, but not to worry – we used another free screen capture programme (Zapgrab) to copy the wordles, and we saved them as jpegs. There is so much more to learn about this programme – it can be used in countless ways.
