I'm happy to see others are using Wordle with their ELL's. I have also used Worlde to help students better understand what it means to paraphrase. After we read a text I give it to them in word cloud form, then ask them to re-write the story, or I should say section of the story, using the word cloud. This has worked quite well for me in the past. Anyway, I love your blog and think it's great that otehrs are interested in the same technology that I am, and for the same reasons.
