Trying to Wordle...and not being successful

The first time I tried Wordle, the tool would not process for me.  I followed the directions and was unable to get a design.  After a few tries, I finally got one, only for my page to freeze up within Wordle (but no other websites did this on my computer.)  I couldn't even copy the page as a picture to put on this blog because of the freeze-up.  I must point fingers at the website.  I am disappointed; I had high expectations for it!  I even thought I could make the words into a shape of a music note for the purpose of my future music classes, but...I had no success.  Thank you, Wordle.

This "easy" process was so easy that nothing worked.  There must be some credit to the applications like Twitter and Picnik in which you create an account.  At least the accounts work!

TRY #2:  Wordling times 2

After giving Wordle a bad review,  it was suggested that I re-evaluate the site.  I was able to work with "Languages" and give examples of such.  I had fun figuring out what I could do with my words, and I look forward to using it in my classroom.

Languages, for example, aver very important in choral music.  Singers not only sing notes, rhythms, dynamics using proper technique, but also incorporate expression in the context of the words sung, proper diction for said language, the meaning of each individual word, and any musicality needed while incorporating the words.

Simply, Wordle can make things much more exciting for classrooms, even for a general music class.  The site is a great way to creatively use vocabulary applied to class.  It is possible in this simple creation process for children to create their own wordles as early as Grade 2.
