WOrDLe!

Today in class I learned how to successfully use the web 2.0 tool Wordle! I absolutely LOVE it! It is so much fun to play around with and I can definitely see myself using this as a teacher. It is perfect to make things more interesting such as introducing everyone to class by putting their name in a wordle or putting class rules into a wordle. Those were two of my favorite examples that were presented to us during the presentation of wordle. Everything about wordle is fun and original and you can play around with it as much as you want! For example, originally, the wordle I had created below was yellow and pink writing against a white background, which was hard to read with the yellow writing. Dr. Obannon brought this to my attention, so I changed my wordle up and did a black background. I did not want to get rid of the yellow writing because yellow has always been one of my favorite colors. There is only one flaw that I have found in wordle as I have been exploring it more and that is that you can not go back and edit you work. If you accidently delete your wordle or press the back button on the wordle that you have open-it will not save the words for you-it will just go straight back to where you have to "paste in a bunch of text" and then you have to do it all over again-this was a little frustrating because if I would ever forget this and press back, my whole wordle was gone and all the words I had were erased. Other than that, I think wordle is fabulous and awesome to just look at. I will definitely utilize this one day in my own classroom!
