Wordle
Wordle was created by Jonathan Feinberg who defines his Web 2.0 program as, “cloud layout algorithms while working on a social bookmarking application at IBM Research”. Wordle was created in 2008. It is used to creatively express words and thoughts. For example, last year in 8th grade Literature, we had to write a paragraph on a character from a book. Then we had to put it into Wordle and turn it in. A lot of different people use Wordle. Some people use it for school assignments like I did and some people use it for fun. Since I am not huge in the Web 2.0 tools, I use Wordle for school assignments.
