Step+by+Step+Directions+For+Two



Wordle Directions

Wordle is abslolutely the easiest 2.0 tool (for me anyway) to use. 1. Go to [|www.wordle.net] 2. Click on "Create" 3. Type in words or you may copy and paste from most anywhere. 4. If you finish copying or typing, I would highlight and ctrl/v (copy) just in case you have to go back 5. Click "Go" 6. You may edit language, font, layout, and the color (after creation)-(play with it)

-the more time a word appears, the larger it will be in the wordle -to insert a pharse such as "I like fuzzy little ducks", it must be like one word such as "I-like-fuzzy-ducks" -if you thinik you may need to add words before printing, copy all the words in the Wordle box. Your can't go back without retyping or "pasting" what you already had. Then go back, paste your words in a new box, add what you need and then recreate a new Wordle with the new words added. -use the print button on the Wordle box for it to be a full page (using "file" and "print" will give you a 1/2 page Wordle. -I have used this space twice. I used it the first time for a "Me" activity for my students and the second time for a biography report cover. (The last one also served as a review as they typed in information) -Have Fun
