Wordle can be a great and fun addition to a lesson plan. Teachers can use Wordle to introduce
information, as a puzzle during an activity, or allow students to make Wordles
to explore topics as we have done for this task. The flexibility of Wordle for the user to
choose the colors, fonts and layouts means they can choose how they want
information displayed to their audience.
If one is teaching an American history course they could use red, white
and blue so the Wordle shows patriotism or the school colors for team
spirits.
If I were to use a Wordle for my Road Trippin’ class, I
would use it as a clue for the group’s next destination. I could input the clues for the city and
state to have the students guess the location instead of writing a narrative
clue. This would make the students have
to use critical thinking skills at a higher level. The above Wordle is made up of bright colors to catch the students attention and introduce them to the objectives and nature of the class.
