I’ve created a guide to creating Word Walls in Moodle. This is a continuation in the Illustrative Guides that I’m creating for educators. I really like the graphic layout of these, but I’m interested in feedback.
Word Walls are used in many classrooms. One limitation of Word Walls tends to be that they stay in the classroom. Some teachers have students create a Word Wall in their planner (or notebook). These have the advantage of being portable, but they tend to not be very convenient or discoverable.
Word Walls in Moodle allow the students to share their work with their classmates. Students can benefit from each other adding and improving the Word Wall. Plus, students have access to the Word Wall anywhere they have online access.
Teachers can also add a Random Glossary Entry block to their course. Doing so will allow for Word Wall entries to magically appear in a block on the course page. I usually set it up so that the students get a different word each time they refresh the page. However, the teacher could change this to a new word a day, alphabetically or more.
Please check out the Word Wall instructions and let me know what you think. Oh, and share.
