Wordle in the Classroom
Wordle creates word
clouds from inputted
text. The more you
enter a word, the
larger it appears in
your word cloud.
This allows for more
emphasis on certain
words and concepts!
Wordle is user friendly and easy to navigate!
Navigating Wordle

This is where you type your text.
The more times you type a word, the larger it
