Wordle Fun!

Have you heard of Wordle yet? I first read about it on Tammy's Tech Tips for Teachers (love that site!) but have also seen it mentioned on lots of craft & scrapbooking sites.

It's super easy to use - just go to wordle.net and enter some text (for this example, I simply copied what I had written in the "Meet Me" section of this blog) and hit the GO button. Once your "creation" appears, you can use the font, layout, and color menus at the top to keep changing it until you like it! When you're happy with the design, click the "Save to Gallery" button at the bottom of the screen.

If you're wondering how I posted it here, I then used a screen-capture program (Jing - love it, it will be a separate post!) to save the image as a png and I included it here.

I think this would be super cool to use in school - and you'll be happy to know that it's not even blocked in our district! Woo hoo .... let the Wordle fun begin!
