Word+Cloud

=Word Cloud=

Wordle (www.wordle.net) is an online tool for generating ‘word clouds’ – these are images made of words. What it does is convert text that you provide into an image. The size of a word in the image is proportional to the number of times it appears in the original text. You can then alter your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and colour schemes, but you cannot edit the word list. (If you want to change the words you have to start again.) The images you create with Wordle are yours to use in any way you choose. You can print them out, save as a PDF or screenshot, or post to the Wordle gallery. (Incidentally, no info is actually recorded by Wordle unless you save your image to the gallery.) || ||
 * WHAT IS WORDLE?

Today you are going to make a Word Cloud that will help us learn about each other! You will need to access an excel sheet on our Shared Directory to help get you started. The directions are fairly simple so you will need to pay attention! It is as easy as dragging fields and deleting text! NOTE: You will not include your last name in this word cloud! First Names ONLY!! Also, you will not post your Cloud on the Internet for safety reasons; however, I will show you how to captue your screen and save it as a word file.

You will need to visit the Wordle page to complete your project. Here is the link: [|Wordle]
