Wordle for the First Day of School?

Was inspired by a fellow classmate to try out Wordle.

This is what was created after I entered my Blog url, and hit the "Randomize" button a few times (until I got a 'randomized' color scheme and design I liked):


I have seen a teacher use a program like Wordle on the first day of school as a fun ice-breaker with kids.  Instead of typing in a url, they type in words that describe them, and voila!  a beautiful work of art to represent each new student in the class.

Fun!

  1. Using Wordle to analyze blog posts is a great activity for class...groups upload blogs or something else then look at the terms that come up with greatest frequency and then draw conclusions...HOTS at work!
