Listen to a podcast of this post:






Can you guess the animal?



I'm brainstorming ways in which to use Wordle with students.

How To:
The easiest way to save a Wordle is to take a screen-shot of it (Alt-Print Screen) then paste (Control V) it into Microsoft Office Picture Manger (under Microsoft Tools in MSOffice). Crop it there and save as a picture file. It was easy to insert into a PowerPoint after it is saved as a picture file too.

Idea:
I want students to create a Wordle that describes an animal that they researched first. Then we could all guess what the animal is. Wordle allows you to print too, but I have no place to display printed work in the library. So, it will have to be an electronic presentation.




This is my "How to use a computer" Wordle:
