Wordle is something I had a little experience with, but I have recently learned a lot more about. It is a great resource to use in the classroom allowing you to type in text and it will create a visual for you. I recently found out I could be teaching Kindergarten next year and began getting creative with wordle to prepare for next year. They say it's better to be safe than sorry; therefore, I am posting two that I have created recently.
The first one I wanted to show them and post on my wall to show some of the skills we will be learning throughout the year.
The next one I am showing you I will use when introducing the letter A and how it sound and what it looks like. I could create a new one with my class as we together come up with a list of A words, and I could place it up on the wall underneath the letter A. Another thing I could do is create a wordle to use on our word wall.
I love using wordle, and have now seen many, many uses for using this website. Wordle only takes seconds so it keeps students engaged and they have fun, because they are on the computer which they think is fun! Wordle is something that you can easily use for every subject throughout the day, and is user friendly. I feel like it is okay for Kindergarteners to use in a computer class or to enhance their typing skills.
I am loving these Wordles and have decided to use them on the first day of school. I think I will have them create one about themselves on paper and then share in groups. Then, they can take them home and put them on to the computer using the Wordle application.
