Using Wordle in My Future Classroom

In class this past Wednesday, Kira had an opportunity to Micro-Teach.  She used the online program, Wordle.  This program can take any group of words you want to display and put them in a cloud-like form that looks interesting to the eye.  You can also put blog links into the program and it will point out the words used the most throughout the blog in the "Wordle cloud."  I thought this was a great idea to get students thinking about any type of vocabulary, even for science!  I decided to create my own Wordle that corresponded with my very own science blog to test it out and see how it works.  This is the Wordle that was created by posting the link to my blog in the designated area on Wordle.  So, here is my Science Blog Wordle!  Enjoy! :)  Try and make your own Wordle for your blog, it is a lot of fun playing around with the "randomize" button to see all the cool designs.
