I really like word clouds. They are a graphic representation of words which I find visually appealing and interesting. Wordles are amongst many things a great way of creating vocab walls and fact sheets, display inspirational quotes, for starters.
For some wordle ideas have a look at these websites

I have seen wordle used to great effect in a Year 1/2 class for practicing their spelling words.
I thought I would experiment with a few word clouds other than wordle.

I like tag clouds such as Tagul. They are great on websites and wikis as the words are often hyperlinked to something associated with the word.

Hi Juliet,
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Thanks for commenting on my blog and leading me to greener word clouds!! I really like the way Tagul links to Google and have added Rodd Lucier's blog "The Clever Sheep" to Favourites - or perhaps I should just follow?!
I have a daughter in Year 11 who can't wait to transfer her latest English essay into a word cloud so that she can analyse the words she uses most! Thanks so much for identifying these resources. You are a legend! Kim
