Educational Value of Wordle

Hello all!

Welcome to Miss Dube's Blogger page as part of our WebQuest!  Today for the first time, I used Wordle to create an interesting image using all the important words from our unit about slavery.  It may just seem like a jumble of words but it is so much more than that!  Wordle picks out the words that you've used the most when you paste a passage so you know which words are the most important or which words you've used too much if the words are not as important to the subject.  This might be a good way to proofread and summarize the main ideas of an essay.  Wordle is also a good way to spice up a presentation: putting a Wordle image into a presentation would be a fun way to prompt discussion.  It is also an interesting image to help break-up a presentation that may contain a lot of words.  Please give it a try!  It is worth the experience!
