Wordle

=**WORDLE**=

[|Wordle]creates word clouds from text that you provide. These clouds, or visual representations of text, give prominence to words that appear more frequently in the text. Teachers can use it to identify key words in a document, such as the Declaration of Independence. One activity is to copy and paste words from a report into Wordle to look at how focused the report is on the subject and for word variety. It can also be used to show a student if they use a word too much. Use the link above to see examples and create your own.
