I have already written about Wordle, the application that makes beautiful word clouds, and how it can be used in your classroom. Here are some more ideas on how to use Wordle with your students thanks to Angelia Myers and The Top 20 Uses for Wordle in the Classroom presented by Rodd Lucier. The following are my favourites for a primary classroom
- Combine student ‘Who Are You?’ introductions, or ‘Superhero

- Turn an essay into a poster;
