Wordle Tutorial: media type="youtube" key="xhL5D9nz5aI" height="315" width="420"

==//Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence 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.//==

=Strengths:= A very unique idea with an effective outcome Can be fun Can be used as a tool for your writing to see what words are overused It is an interesting way to display your information It can be shared You have complete control over the colors and fonts, etc.

=Weaknesses:= It is very difficult to embedd a wordle into a document or project If you click the back button to go back, it deletes all your whole progress It is hard to print It takes a long time for the wordle to be created It slows down your WHOLE web browser (mine just shut down itself)

I give wordle a 4. It is a very cool and fun product to use!

Here is a wordle I made with the words of this whole page!
