Wordle is probably one of my favorite assignments :) only because it was super easy to create. I am learning a lot from these tech classes and I think I am a digital immigrant, and not a native. Thus, Wordle rocks because it is easy to use. Wordle is a site for you and your students to create "word clouds," posters, banners, build word walls, texts, etc. on any lesson you teach. The site is available free of charge, and you can also customize the fonts, colors, and layout of the Wordle you're creating.
An example assignment using Wordle would be to build a word wall on a story or lesson you are learning in class. This will allow students the opportunity to recall their new knowledge on a lesson or topic they learn in class.
An advantage of using Wordle is how simple and easy it is for both, teachers and students, to use. Just go to the website, type in a bunch of words you learned or will be teaching, and click on "Go." All age and grade levels will be able to use Wordle hassle free.
I really can not think of any disadvantage with Wordle. As I previously mentioned, it is student friendly to use. Most of all, the students will have a great time creating their projects or assignments on here.
Wordle away...
