Biography- "Martin Luther King" Wordle

I used the below Wordle to describe the book I read about Martin Luther King Jr. I chose words that described who he was and what he did. I think this alternative source of technology can be used in the classroom because it is fun, creative, and easy. I believe that student's would love to pick key words from a story and design a Wordle. It creates a visual representation and organization that is unique and fun for viewers. I think it would be easy to incorporate this into the classroom. Students could get on the computer and type in their selected words. It only takes a couple of seconds for the Wordle to be created. The teacher could have the students print them out for her to see and the student could even keep a copy to take home. I believe this technology source is great for elementary students as it is so visual, cute, and creative.
