Cool Website for those Word Pictures

[chocolateteabag]

I have been playing (for a real work reason obvs) with this site today

www.wordle.net/

You can create those funky word collages where the more of one word the bigger it is - very easy to use - just bung in some words and have a play with the colours, fonts and shapes

That's fab! Thanks for the link :)

I love Wordle! I make a door sign for my class each year using all of their first names, plus mine (in twice) and our class name colour (three times) and make it all in shade of our class colour. It always looks fab and they adore spotting their names in it at the start of term.

I also use it for a simple ICT/Literacy lesson where I get them to type in adjectives to describe themselves and their own name (twice). Great for display and self-esteem as well as exploring adjectives.

Top Tip - if you have phrases where you want to keep pairs or more of words together, use a ~ sign instead of a space when entering them, so Top Tip would be Top~Tip.
