Using Wordle in the Classroom

What is Wordle? Wordle is a program which creates “word clouds” out of the text of your choice. It is a GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION of the most frequently used words or most important words in a speech, a poem, a book, a historical document or from your own thoughts. You decide how to present the word cloud re: font, colour, directional word placement, etc. You save your word cloud for personal use, or allow others to view & offer feedback.
