More tools to work with the text

Wordle  is a tool for generating “word clouds” from texts. The clouds give prominence to words that appear more frequently in the text. The clouds can be of different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images can be printed out, or saved.




  Wallwisher offers many opportunities to organise the work. It is not exactly working with text but with information. Posting messages, collecting favourite links, sharing ideas, wishing ona special day, making plans and lists, keeping notes and many others. Wallwisher in the classroom can help in various ways - as far as the teacher need it.
