Word Cloud

     This is a Word Cloud I did near the beginning of one of my graduate classes. Word Cloud are great tools to use to display components or pieces of a whole. For this particular class, our teacher asked us to make a Word Cloud that would reveal a little about who we were and the things we are interested or involved in. Word Clouds are very simple and fun to make. Teachers could use these as an easy way to get to know their students early in a class. If student know that their teachers care about who they are and the things they are interested in, they are more likely to return that interest and care when they are in the classroom. Word Clouds are very simple methods to getting a foundation started on a healthy relationship with students. I would highly recommend letting students see a Word Cloud that you, as the teacher, make and letting the class see each other's Word Clouds.
