A wordle is a word cloud created from words. The more frequent a word appears in the input text, the larger its size will be in the word. In fact, Wordle Arts has enormous educational potential and can be used in various learning activities. For example, students can use word makers to summarize a text or passage they have read.
They can also use them to quickly scan a document and develop an initial idea of what it is about even before reading the full text. Word clouds are also perfect for activities related to creating art and visual presentations, collecting student feedback, writing book reviews, visualizing data from tables and surveys, and much more.
All of these tools are free or offer free plans. The standard word cloud generation process consists of three steps: first enter your text, which can be done by simply typing it directly into the word cloud generator, paste it, or import a document file.
Second, edit your wordle. For example, you can edit the layout of your word clouds, change the text font, edit background colors, and more. Depending on the word builder you choose, the editing features are different from tool to tool. The third and final step is to generate and share your final word in the format of your choice (for example, SVG, PNG, or JPEG).
1- word art
Formerly Tagul, Word Art is a great word cloud art generator for teachers and students. You can easily create professional-looking word art without any knowledge of graphic design. The process is simple: enter your text, click View, and then customize your word cloud.
You can type your text or import it from a CSV or Excel file. You can then edit your Wordle Art the way you want. For example, click Shapes to apply a particular shape to your word cloud. The shapes are arranged in multiple categories including Emoji, Hearts, Money, Nature, Numbers, Christmas, People, and many more.
You can also change the font and layout of your text (eg, horizontal, vertical, down slope, up slope, dancing words, crossing words, and more). Click Styles to change the color of the words, select the background color or make it transparent, change the background image and animation speed, choose a dynamic text color, and more.
One cool feature that caught my eye about Word Art is the ability to animate your art in the cloud. To apply animation to your wordle art, click Animate from the toolbar at the top of the tag cloud and then hover over any word to see the beautiful animation.
When your wordle arts are ready, you can download them in PNG or JPEG format. In order to download them in High Quality (HQ) formats (ie HQ PNG, HG JPEG, HQ SVG vector, HQ PDF vector, HQ Animated HTML, HQ Custom), you will need to pay. Word Art offers several one-time purchase plans and packages.
