    This PLN collaboration is an incredible resource! I can’t wait to use Wordle for classroom polls and graphing in my 1st grade inclusion class. It will make a great workstation for them to rotate through during our content area workshops. I also really like the idea of comparison of genre elements and character traits. Wordle walking through a text sounds like such fun! What wonderful ideas! I see many opportunities for higher level analysis and discussion. Thanks for sharing this! I’ll be passing it along to my colleagues!

    Wordle has so many interesting uses and can really get kids to not only create but think and react to things. I’m really trying to use it to push my kids thinking and reflection.
