Word Clouds

I enjoyed the Wordle assignment and know I will be using this program in the future not only for teaching but for fun too.  It is very easy to create a word cloud using Wordle.  Just input the words you wish to include in the cloud and click go.  The program automatically generates a word cloud with your words.  The Wordle gallery can be viewed here.  The user has the option to edit the language, font, word layout, and the color theme. 

I used the program to create the following word clouds containing elements from the periodic table.  The first word cloud has the first 90 elements and the second cloud has commonly known elements.

This assignment follows NETS T guideline #1.
