Wordle

Today in class we learned about the web 2.0 tool wordle.  Wordle is basically a program that takes any text that you enter and turns it into an interesting "word web".  It's a very cool tool that allows for a lot of personalization to text that would otherwise be bland.  I can see myself using this in my future classroom.  While probably not for learning activities, it can help liven up a syllabus or a letter sent home to parents.  The only problem that I found with wordle is the issue with not being able to go back to the text.  You can only enter the text and make the web once, if you need to add or delete a word the whole process must be completed again.  Other than that. the tool is very simple and quick to use.  I will definitely be using it in my future  career. Here's an example of one that I did using terms found in the special education world and curriculum!
