Wordles are so much fun. I tried these last year because one
of the science/language arts teachers wanted me to teacher it during my
computer class. The students used words from the books that they were reading
and made a cover for their reports. The only problem that we could find with
the program was that sometimes after the students typed all those words, they
would accidently hit a key by mistake and the words would disappear. We decided
that it would be safer to type the words on word first and cut and paste them
into the document. After we figured that out, the students enjoyed making
shapes and changing the style of their wordle.
Good idea with the cutting and pasting. My students used a Wordle last year and we had some trouble with the site. When they would go to create, there would be an error and they would have to start over. I will remember your idea the next time I do a Wordle with my students.
