Wordle

Wordle is a wonderful tool that can be used in multiple ways. It allows you to paste any text into a box. The Wordle program conducts a word frequency analysis and creates a word cloud with the most commonly used words in the selection. You can choose the number of words in the cloud and then arrange them in multiple different formats, allowing you personalize the colours and arrangement to your liking. You will notice that words that are more commonly used will appear larger and words that are seldom used will be relatively small.

This program could be be used by teachers to allow students to analyze their writing to recognize how repetitive they are. This is also an interesting way to display information in a classroom, by putting a piece of writing on the Wordle program this could give the students the chance to guess what the writing might be about due to the size of the lettering, this can be a good learning tool when new literature is brought into the classroom.
