Create a Word Cloud!

Check out this website to make your own “word clouds”: Wordle

You can paste or type in the text for your cloud. If you want certain words larger than others, type them in more than once. If you want two (or more) words to be joined in your cloud, do not put a space between the words. You can randomize your text to make many variations of word clouds.

A word of caution: You can print out your word cloud and/or you can save it to the Wordle gallery. There are folks of all ages creating word clouds, so the gallery may include inappropriate text. If you are using with your students, particularly at the elementary level, ask for support from your ITRT to ensure that students enter the site here: Create a Word Cloud
Once their text has been added, they can click on Go and Randomize, but they should not click on the back arrow because this will take them back to the Home Page and they will see the “latest created by others” word clouds and there is no way to be sure that these word clouds have appropriate text.
