Word Cloud - more than just a decoration


As you can see from above, it is just a bunch of words created by this tool. There is nothing really complicated. It can be a piece of artwork, can be a reminder of memories and can also potentially be a means for ELT.

What is Wordle?

The program is a free and user-friendly program that allows people to create "Word Clouds". It is an image made of words where the word sizing is based on the frequency of the word appeared in the source given. It allows users to save and print the picture just by clicking the buttons. If you like your own cloud, you can even save and share to the Wordle community so that everyone can appreciate it. There is a forum for Wordle users to create a community sharing their works and solving encountered problems while using the program. FAQ section is also included on the website to answer the common requests from the users.
