Wordle
Wordle generates "word clouds" from text that
you provide and provides a graphical analysis of your text. It
takes the words that are used the most and makes them the
biggest so you can immediately "see" what words are used the
most frequently. This is a great way for students to see what
words they use the most often and revise and edit their writing
accordingly. The "word clouds" are also really beautiful and
they can be tweaked with different fonts, layouts, and colors
and they can be printed or saved.
