 How it works

  


 Features
  • Edit the word list to enter the words and frequency.
  • Choose the size, shape, flatness, theme, colors, and font.
  • Add links to your words: In the word list you can enter a URL after each word; the word then becomes clickable and points to the given URL.
  • Download the result as an HTML image map.
  • Words can be arranged in any format: horizontal lines, columns or within a shape.

 Affordances
  • Gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
  • Fun ways to get students thinking creatively about any topic.
  • A powerful way to get through to visual learners.

 Educator Usage

A visualisation method that displays how frequently words appear in a given body of text, by making the size of each word proportional to its frequency. All the words are then arranged in a cluster or cloud of words.

It can also be used to display words that have meta-data assigned to them. For example, in a Word Cloud with all the World's country's names, the population could be assigned to each name to determine its size.
