Nice idea, Leonardo. I like the idea of creating a topic focused wordle which can be used as a reference for future writing or to expand particular semantic fields.

Thanks for sharing it

Marisa

I’ve already used many different wordles to revise vocabulary from previous classes. Personally, I have always found them interesting, eye-catching and inspiring. An interesting idea is to ask students to send you a piece of writing via e-mail, so the teacher (or even the students themselves) can copy and create a wordle from each student’s work. Spread the wordles around the class on the walls. Bellow each wordle, fix a list containing all names. Ask students to guess who wrote what by writing their guesses next to their names in each name list. In the end, students may compare and contrast the choice of vocabulary, compare it with what they have been studying, and maybe include more words in his/her own wordle for future writing on the same topic or not…

You can in most of them – though at the time when I wrote this post this was not an option in many – now I think it is – in Wordle you do it by right-clicking on a word and in others too

Thanks for stopping by Leo

Thank you for this detailed analysis and a nice table for the visual learners among us Very useful indeed as all these tools that emerged after Wordle (I assume Wordle was the first one) were becoming rather overwhelming.
I have a question: do you know if any of these word cloud apps allow the user to exclude certain words? For example, if I don’t want to include a name which appears a lot in the text.
Thanks
LEO
