Wordle

Week One
Wordle creates word clouds from text you type or paste in. Based on frequency, Wordle makes some text larger. Of course, you can alter your Wordle product once you've entered in text.

You can use Wordle to create poety, review material (vocab, concepts, terms), make posters, or even analyze speeches (by seeing which words are larger, you can discuss a speaker's word choice).

Wordle can be found at http://www.wordle.net.

Here's a nice handout on our challenge (thank you Rita Mortenson).

If you've already used Wordle, then try Tagxedo, which adds a new twist to what Wordle started.

Here's a nice video explaining how to make a Wordle: media type="youtube" key="1J-s68cO7-A" height="390" width="640"
