Word Clouds… another great tool to engage students

Ever been to Wordle.net?

Enter a bundle of words at Wordle and this really cool web tool will create a word cloud for you. Once the word cloud is created, you can change fonts, chose a colour scheme, or make your own palette. You can even change the layout of your words…

Check out the wordle gallery for inspiration.

    - thanks Alex – I love this word cloud tool – I’d use it to promote brain-storming, problem-solving and as a fun stress-reliever – I love the way it nudges the nuerons about -

    I love it too Averil. So many uses, it’s a shame you need to take a screen shot (PrintScrn) to use the image again, but I guess generates more users for them by putting that little message at the bottom!
