….. not sure what to do with them yet, perhaps;
- make good cover sheets for projects
- picks out the important detail and is a good start for student notes and summaries
- good for revision of notes
- good starting point for a mind-mapping exercise
Any other ideas?

Very cool idea for using it. I’m not sure it has a ton of instructional value, but if Wordle started letting you buy posters of your word clouds, I might be able to be convinced to drop some dollars…

Hi there,
Visually I love this. Could be useful for past exam questions if you wanted to analyse the sorts of things being asked. I put all the HSC extension oral exam questions for the past 7 years into wordle - made for some interesting reading …

It could be used for a pre-reading exercise where a lengthy text is wordled and the prominant words are used to expand a discussion on what might come up in the text.
Personally, I got all the text from my company homepage and threw it in to make a nice wallpaper for my computer.
