Tip of the Week: Word Cloud Generator for Google Docs! Word Cloud Generator is a Google Doc Add-on available for Google Docs! To get the Add-on, open a Google Doc- click on "Add-ons"- "Get Add-ons"- search for "Word Cloud Generator". It will look like this!
Watch the video to see how to use it! The fun part is that you can drop the Word Cloud image directly into the Google Doc!
How could I use this in my classroom?
Word Cloud takes the words that appear more frequently and creates them more prominently by giving them a larger font size.
- "Word Cloud" text from an article to find the main points:
- (Below is an example of a Word Cloud I created from a Triathlon article)....
- Word Cloud your own writing to see the main points or to add a visual.
Wordle is a similar platform that you may be used to using... Word Cloud is much like it!
