Wordle: Word Clouds

If you have yet to see Wordle in action you are missing out. It is an online tool that creates word clouds using text you input. For example, I copied the NETS for Students from iste.org and pasted them into the text field on the wordle website, and here is what was created.


The larger the word, the more prominence it had in the text you identified. Or in other words, the larger the word the more often it was found in the selection you chose. And what's nice is you can cut and paste a selection or you can direct the page to another URL that incorporates an RSS feed.
