Another word cloud tool to try

Colleen Wedge shared this word cloud one of her students made. She used a tool called tagul.com.  This particular student is doing dog therapy, so the shape is a nice fit!  Can you see using word clouds within PLPs?


I've written before about word clouds, but it's also good to see what the new tools are.  Here are some ideas on how you can use them:

  1. Try pasting in the full text of two presidential candidates' stump speeches.  How do they compare?
  2. Make a word cloud from responses to a survey to get a feel for the main points.
  3. Add a tag cloud to your blog to see what topics are most often discussed.
