Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater meaning to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. Students could use wordle for vocuabulary words, spelling words, or sight words.
