Wordle.com

To continue our conversation about using tech tools in class I would like to feature this month Wordle.com. Jennifer Wagner (Tech&Learning) suggests quite a few ways to use Wordle in class (Wonder of Wordles):
"They are conversation starters, classroom reflections, visuals of students’ hopes and dreams, summaries, preparations, vocabulary builders, and spelling checkers. They are past, present and future, they are ways to review for a test, and ways for a teacher to check on pre-knowledge. They encourage thought, discernment, understanding, clarification, discussion, clarity, and challenges.They are much more than words just typed into a box and then click on GO".


Sr. Vahab uses Wordle as a vocabulary builder at her Spanish class and assigns her students to wordle a review of their class at home.
