Emerging Technology 2 (Wordle)

Teaching Spelling and Vocabulary is one of those necessary evils.  I am always looking for new ideas to incorporate into my lesson plans so students do not have to pull out the "old Webster's Dictionary".  I thought this would be a fun option for them to use in practicing their words for either their Spelling or the Vocabulary that is assigned each week.  A couple of issues with Wordle include: some schools have this blocked, and my many of my students would need additional help in studying their words for Spelling or Vocabulary Tests.  I guess the might have to look in Webster's Dictionary from time to time.

  1. I have not used wordle and am not familiar with it. Can you enter your own words and definitions to use? I am interested from the perspective of mathematical vocabulary that is often not in the dictionary, or at least not in the context that I am looking for.
