Wordle is a wonderful little app. It allows students to type words in the window and then hit create and watch as the words change shape and seem to take on a mind of their own. It allows students to create a word-bank around a theme and have fun doing it. They then can use the words in the writing process. Take a peak at the always changing online gallery the company keeps on its website.
