WORD CLOUDS...

alphabetized & designed "any which way" 
HAVE YOU PLAYED WITH WORDLE? OR HOW ABOUT PICNIK?
I spent some time playing with WORDLE and figuring out some possibilities for using it in the classroom. (who says teachers take the summers off?)
black background w/ half horizontal & half vertical lettering
WORDLE can be used to generate "WORD CLOUDS from the text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text."


FYI - All of my samples include the SAME WORDS...
same format with white background & different color scheme
You can scramble the words, and create a new look...
black background is difficult to read! looks impressive though!
You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.
same word layout with different color scheme
PICNIK was used to add borders to a couple of my WORDLE.


WORDLE can be found WORDLE...

PICNIK an online photo-editing program is simple to use... add frames, graphics... WELL, you just have to check out PICNIK also...


Have fun... how would you use these programs???
