The word cloud below was made with with Tagul.com. I'm looking into the use of word clouds for my project on teaching information literacy. This word cloud was made with all of the words in our blog. Any ideas and comment on how to use it for teaching and learning would be welcome.
• explore the links in a word cloud
• deconstruct a text using word clouds
• [suggestions]

Word Clouds could be useful for many things in teaching and learning.
ReplyDeleteOne quick example would be for a student to use a word cloud to look for the overuse of words in an essay or any body of text to be submitted,
Another use (which would be great for helping second language learners) would be for a teacher to use a word cloud on prepared lessons. This would identify common words in the lesson which could be flagged for students to know and define prior to the lesson.
Thanks for the suggestions and ideas. Much appreciated. Chris
