Get Creative with wordle.net

Create a "word cloud" using the Web 2.0 tool wordle.net. To see what a "wordle" looks like check out the wordle created for the SmartBoards in Greenwich wiki. Use the online tools to personalize the font, colors and style. The resulting graphic can be used in printed documents or your web page. Some possibilities could be:

• Make a "wordle" containing the names of your students -print it out, laminate it and hang it on your classroom door.
• As a group activity have students suggest words that describe their summer or their feelings about the first day of school.
• Create a personal wordle with the names of your family members and turn it into a notecard.
• Create a weekly "wordle" activity sheet for vocabulary or spelling.
• Use an original poem or writing assignment to create a "wordle". You might be surprised at the result!
