Create eye-catching word clouds
"Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. 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."
How to use Wordle in school
Try out to start a lesson with such a word cloud and see how it goes. Let the students interpret what the topic of the lesson is going to be or let them create a mind map where they have to arrange the words in categories. By doing that, the students put a lot of thoughts into that topic already. It is a good warm up for the students and you as a teacher are ready to start of.
Of course you can create your individual word cloud just by typing the words you want to have displayed or just copy a text paste it. Wordle will randomize the words automatically.
