Educational Value of Wordle



Wordle is a great online tool for teacher's to be introduced to. Wordle would be a great way for teacher's to get student's "hooked" on a lesson. All teachers want their students to be excited about the next unit, chapter, lesson, activity etc. and Wordle can create a great game for student's to guess what they might be learning next. Teachers could also use Wordle to informally assess students at the end of a unit, lesson, activity, chapter, etc. The students could create a Wordle with a certain amount of words that may specifically describe or re-iteratre a specific lesson. As a teacher I am always looking to implement new and creative ways to get student's engaged, and Wordle would do just that! The best part of Wordle is that it is free, fast to create, K-12 appropriate, easy to learn and learner-centered, which allows the student's to take responsibility in their own critical thinking and learning.
