PLN: Wordle
Sometimes children need ways to brainstorm that aren't just just a class dicuassion. One really useful way is a word cloud. Wordle creates simple word clouds in the design of your choice after you put in your "words". This is great for class collaboration projects as well as thinking after lessons and summarizing. Wordle is a fantastic application and website for any age grade. I highly recommend just playing around with it before class to find all of it's hidden features. Wordle is a great free classroom tool.
I loved this website! I used it in my presentation, and found it really handy to show a multitude of ideas in one thing. It seems like it would also be really helpful when asking students to brainstorm. Definitely on my list of things to remember!
