What is Wordle?

Have you ever used Wordle in your classroom for learning activities?  I have, and it always makes a beautiful display of what they have learned.  We use it for adjectives, nouns, pronouns and more.  It is a free tool for anyone to use and you need to visit their website to think of a way you can use it in your classroom.  I promise you the kids will love doing it and seeing the printed project when they are done.  It is a good way to do assessments as well and they can put their own names into the mix of words in their "word cloud".

Here is one created using NOUNS: a person, place or thing and then naming the nouns that come into their head as they are sitting in front of the computer.  Try it out and let me know what you used it for!

Classroom Books Organizer

A "must-have" for your classroom library. It allows you to use your smart phone and scan the bar code (ISBN) on your classroom books and then it inputs all of the info for you on a FREE data base. It allows you to let kids scan out the books and check out and check them in, separate them by reading levels and even put down their location in your class room. Did I mention it's FREE!?!?
