WORDLE

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Students will eventually have the option on Monday nights to do their spelling homework using WORDLE instead of handwriting their words two times each. Students may use wordle to type in their spelling words several times and create a word cloud. This will be an excellent way for students to showcase their creativity and work on their typing skills, as well as practice the spelling of words. They will either need to print off a copy of their spelling wordle to turn in for homework, or with your help at home they may email their word cloud to jdouglas@laconia.org.
