Wordle

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text, appearing larger the more they are used. I think that this shows emphasis. You can tweak your clouds
with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. Its really quite good fun and I think can be adapted academically. For example, I put in our school mission statements and this is what I got.
