Wordle

Before last week, I had never heard of Wordle before. I've been brainstorming for the past few days on how I could successfully use it as a classroom aid.

How can Wordle be used as a successful critique aid in promoting discussion between students? If a Wordle is passed out to each student containing valuable critique words, is it possible that students will be able to use the Wordle to help them communicate their ideas? Is trying to get students to use Wordle in the classroom pushing the technology on the students or would it be merely beneficial?

Bellow is a sample Wordle I created that I think could be an aid in a class-wide critique.
