1. Review of functionality - we found this very easy to use as the actions are self-explanatory and you can play around with the programme until you get the desired effect you want

2. Benefits/limitations for learning Benefits: - creative word banks/vocab lists - having fun with words and computers - creative way of practising typing - looking at different styles

Limitations: - spelling/typing ability - using what you have created - how can you develop the initial word bundle? - sentences do not make sense - only keeps key words

3. Practical uses - word banks/vocab lists - displays - pulling out most frequently used words - topic starter/plenary - key words what know - inspiration for creative writing

4. E-safety considerations - appropriateness of words - avoid using full names in wordle if sharing publicly
