Wordle and Java

One of the resources I like to use is Wordle -- a word-cloud generating website that allows students to copy and paste their text into a box and get back a montage of words that sizes each word based on the number of times it was used. It is a visual presentation students can use to check their writing for word over-use.

Unfortunately, our Chrome Books cannot access Wordle because it involves Java Script. The same thing happens with TestNav, the Pearson tests Virginia uses for the SOL assessments. So, Chrome Books will be useless for the end-of-year SOLs.
