Education Value of Wordle





This Wordle includes keywords that emphasis the purpose of the WebQuest task for kindergartners.  The WebQuest is for allowing kids to learn about animals and the alphabet, and ultimately combine their knowledge into an interactive storybook medium.  Using skills like typing and recording, students will demonstrate their mastery.  The Wordle also includes examples of animal names, noises, and the importance of learning and creating through technology.  A wordle is a great tool for students to identify key concepts and vocabulary.
