How to use this in the classroom….
After students have composed some written words (essay, writing prompt, paragraph), then have them type those words into a word document.
Copy and paste the word document into the wordle text box and create image.
The image generated will immediately visualize what words were used the most.
Example: overusing the adjective “good”
