My Wordle

I created this wordle from a list of words my class had collectively thought about hand held learning. I like the look of these 'word clouds' because they are attractive, aesthetically pleasing and give instant information. The larger the word the more it appears in your passage. These are already being used in advertising and on media. I have seen the University use a wordle on their website. I think this could be used in the class room as a way of displaying ideas and thoughts in a clear interactive way.

here is a presentation showing how to use wordle in the classroom. I like the idea of using it for poetry and to introduce new vocabulary.
