You were the reason I first looked up Wordle a couple days ago and I, too, am imagining the possibilities. I am a foreign language teacher by trade and thought it will also have fantastic application in the FL classroom as we read news articles so kids can find the key words ahead of time, and, if they don't know them, look them up... because it's probably a pretty good guess that they will need to understand that word before really delving into the text. So Wordle as anticipatory set as well as deep analysis! What fantastic options. We are only limited by our imagination. Hi Bob,

I had just found out about Wordle this week, as well, and instantly thought of it to use in writing as an emphasis upon words. Interesting, isn't it? Great stuff, as always, Bob!

I will definitely use it with students and staff to illuminate emphasis in writing, and your insight here will spark other creative uses for me, too. By the way, I enjoyed every minute of your BLC2008 presentation and appreciate the possibilities you opened for my elementary tech teaching. Holly Thanks for the Wordle reference and recommendation!

I used it as a project in grad school class this summer to summarize my Creativity class. It was the final slide in my presentation. It gave the class and I, including the professor a visual representation of what we have learned, read and taught each other. I think it is a very powerful tool. I had never thought about using it as a piece to trigger more reflections though. I forwarded you post to my professor about your thoughts and ideas. It is amazing how such a simple tool brings such great pleasure to educators. I love the central focus of your Wordle. It is very clear what is important to you. Thanks for the inspirational post.
