Wordle 03/20/2009
Recently, I learned how to use Wordle. Wordle allows teachers and students to create “word clouds” from text. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. This site allows you to reflect and evaluate the power of words. Users can type the text from key vocabulary, a favorite quote, a short passage or an entire speech.
