Mr.Peters' High School Technology Integration Wiki / Tools for teaching vocabulary with technology: Episode 1: Wordle. Traducir esta página! As the year gets moving, I know a lot of CAG teachers are looking for new and exciting elements to incorporate into their Marzano direct vocabulary instruction. So I thought I would devote a couple of posts on cool technology ideas that might help in this area. I know many people may have heard of this one, but it is a good place to start. Wordle is the best kind of Web 2.0 tool: extremely straight-forward and easy to use, no matter what your comfort level with technology is. Simply type or paste in a list of words, and it will create a cool looking poster.
For the technology word poster, above, I went to the CAG High School Vocabulary page, and copied the technology page and pasted it into Wordle. You can also pull words from blogs, Delicious tags and any website with an RSS feed. This isn`t going to solve all of your vocabulary teaching problems, but it is a nifty way you can create an virtual word wall, or better yet have students create their own! Word Wall Links.
