Emerging Technology 1: Wordle

I am a big fan of Wordle right now!
www.wordle.net
It's super easy for my students to use, which makes it fun for them because of the immediate results they see - no waiting for further directions - yea!  They click on the link I created on my website, choose "create" on the Wordle site, type in their words and "GO!"  This week we used Wordle to practice our spelling words.  Each time someone made a new Wordle, they wanted to show everyone!  We could have all stood around the computers, looking at each randomized font/color combination all day.  I know that the intermediate grades in our building use Tagxedo, (www.tagxedo.com) with their students, which I also tried out, but I think that for primary students, Wordle is fab!
