Wordle is so much fun! I got introduced to it in college, but could not quite figure out how/why I would want to use it with students until now! It is a great way to mix up a typical writing class and let my student's creativity fly! You could even use it in reading, maybe to describe a character or even how a story went.
Features:
-Tons of colors to choose from to personalize your work
-Lots of different layouts to make the work your own
-Different fonts to really make your final product pop!
This is how I scored Wordle on my rubric:
*Student Engagement: For my students it is a 4. They love to play around with colors/fonts with anything they do, so this is a huge success.
*Accessibility/Relevance: This would be a 4. Again it is a tool you could use in any subject for pretty much any standard you are working on. It is a great way for a student to go above and beyond to work towards a 4 on a standard.
*Capabilities/Customization- This would be a 3. There are capabilities for students to build their own projects in many different ways.
*Safety: This would be a 3. There is no actual login, but there is nothing actually saved on the website. The students can go in and make as many as they want.
*Thinking Skills: This would be a 3 as well. It takes some time to figure out exactly what/how you want to say to make a great product. I have done this with students a few times and it took them writing out the character traits before they got on wordle to make their final product.
