"Can you guess what word he used most in his annual State of the Union addresses?"
"The artist Luke DuBois, who presented several interesting pieces at the Aspen Ideas Festival, once did an installation that displayed the frequency with which words were used in State of the Union addresses. "The address is in many ways the best original source material for elucidating the concerns and anxieties apparent in the national zeitgeist for a given time," DuBois argued.
"So he took the addresses delivered by a given president, analyzed the words that appeared most frequently, and displayed them in the style of those charts that eye doctors use to test your vision."

Mike Gorman returns with 125 ways to use Word Clouds in your classroom. Although focused on Wordle any of the many tools available to create word clouds could be used. Gorman has taken the time to organize these ways into the following categories: * All Subjects * Science * Language Arts * Social Studies * Math * Health and PE and Consumer Sciences * Art and Music * Foreign Languages * Careers Below are two of the 125 suggestions. The first one is for science. * Create a simple food chain showing representing each population of animal by word size. In fact create a whole food web of an area or biome. Use advanced number feature. And this one is for social studies. * Using statistical information from a place such as CIA World Fact Book create word clouds that illustrate country statistics such as resources, ethnic groups, religions, languages, etc. You may wish to use advanced number feature to illustrate prominence of each. |

I use Word Clouds regularly on my VLE (Moodle) courses. They do need explaining sometimes, which makes me think they are less valuable than some other graphics, but there are lots of ideas here I am going to try.
