Wordle

I am currently a participant at the NYU Faculty Resource Network Seminar, New Technologies for Teaching and Learning. We started on Monday, June 13 and will end Friday, June 17. We have covered many topics and today we are playing with Wordle, an online application that will enable you to create word clouds. This is an open source program and the product is really cool. I will include an example of the Wordle that resulted from my seminar notes up to now. It helps us see the themes that were covered in my notes. Students can similarly use this tool to take a close look at their writing and see the themes they have covered in their writing.
