Educational Value of Wordle

 
A wordle is a cloud of words that are associated to what you are learning about. When words are typed into a text box it creates an image with
the words. This is an important part of education because it helps you visually see the words again and in a fun way. When a wordle is made there is an option to change the layout, this allow you do decide which words you feel are more important and need to be larger versus the words you feel play smaller rolls on the subject that should be smaller. By creating your own wordle and changing the layout will not only help you visually see the words repeatedly but will also help you use and identify important words in reading and writing.
