What’s in a Word(le)?

Filed Under (Learning) by on 25-10-2008 and tagged ,

Believe it or not, this is a graph:

It shows the frequency of words that turn up in a selected text. I took all of our About Me pages and created this Wordle. I infer the following things from this graph:

  • our class is social: we value family and friendships
  • our class is active: we like to play in many ways
  • our class is full of learners: we are curious about many things
  • our class is optimistic: we have a positive outlook

So, when you look at our Wordle, what do you see?

    Hi Ms.Smith I think this is a really cool ‘wordle’ I think it is a fun and creative way to put words together. I might try and put one of these on my website.

    That’s a GRAPH!? I agree with you about what you infered. I like how most of the words in the wordle are different sizes. It makes it look so much more interesting!

    When I look at this Wordle I think I see a word from my about page- “soccer”.
    Another thing I notice about the Wordle is that everyone is different but special in their own way
