I spent some time exploring Wordle. I typed in the action words my students gave in our study of verbs. I think it would be a great way to review. The kids would love to see their individual answers shown as a poster or on the screen. I changed the font to one that would be easy for kindergartners to read and selected that all the words read horizontal. I changed the color to something bright and catchy. The sad thing was that in the process of saving it, I lost it. I'll have to do it again.
Whether I am using photos or samples of students' work, sharing that publicly in class affects the social and emotional development of the child. As teachers, we have to provide safe and accepting environments where students will be comfortable sharing themselves (photos or work).
I love Wordle; I think students would find it fun.
