Creating Wordies

A Wordie for one of my classes
Wordies are "word clouds" are a selection of individual words that are used to convey meaning or intent.  The example above is a Wordie that I created for my SAB: 130 Addictive Behaviors Course.   Each of the words included are directly related to the topics and intent of the specific course.  Therefore, not only is this wordie nice to look at and draws interest, it also provides a overview of the course content for the entire semester.

Wordle.net is a great free resource for easily creating word clouds.  The steps are to simply choose create on the home page and type or paste in your words into the textbox.

The website can also scan website urls and create automatic Wordies (an example is below).

    This is interesting! Think of what you can use this for? You think like vocab words in a unit? An intro to the unit? I don't know, but it sure is pretty.
