More Wordle with year 7 (11-12 years old).
Last week, we finished the topic about school with my year 7 classes so I took them to the computer room and asked them to type some of the topic's key words on Wordle.
I had already tried this lesson previously in the year and it had been a success, and this time because my students knew the tool already, they enjoyed it even more ;)
The only drawback to Wordle is that there is no search option. It makes it difficult to look for students' works to then embed them on the school blog.
I went onto Wordle's forum and found this comment from Rob Elliott
"As long as you always save your wordles to the gallery with the same
username you can search for them by entering the following into your
browser address bar: http://www.wordle.net/gallery?username= adding your username after the = That is currently the only way to search for wordles."

I knew my students' usernames so I followed the instruction above. This is something to keep in mind when working with Wordle.
