You are your words word cloud

Word cloud generators are popular online tools.

They can map data, such as, words and tags in a visual and engaging way. They come with different features and fonts and with a variety of shape, layout and editing capabilities.

These online tools have pros and cons and some work faster than others. You will even be able to find an awesome, free word cloud generator. Therefore, good research is recommended before you choose the best one for your needs.

A word cloud is a modern way to visualize the keywords or tags from any piece of writing e.g. blog posts or an educational text. A word cloud generator usually works like this: the more frequently a word appears in the text, the larger and bolder it appears in the word cloud. Above you see an example of a word cloud created using Tagxedo.

You can use word Clouds in presentations, in eye-catching images on your website or maybe as your cover photo on a social media site. Word clouds are also frequently used for educational purposes and some companies have word clouds printed and displayed in large format. It is also common to see word clouds used on promotional items such as shirts, bags, mugs, etc.

Note: If you like logos, and the way good ones turn simple words into gorgeous typographic expressions, make sure to check out the thousands of fully-licensed premium logo templates found over at Envato Market.

Variety and novelty in English lessons encourage learners to be more engaged. On the contrary, monotonous tasks, no matter how useful they are, cause boredom. How to bring variety without too many changes in the process of learning vocabulary? Use word clouds.

 Word clouds are a graphical representation of words and words combinations. They can be used for:

• vocabulary revision
• presenting lexis
• practicing new words
• student’s projects.

It is just a more visually appealing way to teach vocabulary. Instead of using lists, which students are probably fed up with, make clouds. You can utilize them for word searches, making monologues and dialogues, word games, writing tasks, etc.

Here are some examples of the tasks.

Task 1

Make a story about a detective investigating a case using all the words and tell your partner  (the teacher).

Task 2

Work in pairs. Ask and answer five questions using the words.

Task 3

Give a definition of one of the words. Can your partner guess the word? Swap roles.

There are some services for creating word clouds:

Word Art

Wordle

Word clouds

I personally prefer to use Word art because it’s possible to create clouds containing collocations. As we know teaching collocations is more effective for learners. Other services just break the word pairs into single words.

Let’s see how to create word clouds using Word art. It’s quick and easy, no registration is required. So click ‘Create’ and make your cloud.

Step 1

Fill in the words or word combinations. You can type as many words as you need, even 30 or even 50. It’s possible to Capitalize letters, use the UPPER or lower case. Click ‘Options’ and opt for repetition of the words as you see in one of the pictures above or choose no repetition.

Step 2

Choose the shape of your cloud: animals, nature, people or some holidays themes. If you want to see the changes, click the red button ‘Visualize’.

For example, this charming ladybird will definitely catch kids’ interest.

Step 3

Choose a font which you like. There are more than 50 fonts to select.

Step 4

Pick out a layout: horizontal, vertical, crossing words, dancing words, slopes and random. The layout will depend on the task and the learners. Teens prefer something less ordinal and more creative. For adults, I usually make more conservative things like a horizontal layout.

Step 5

Choose a style: colours of the words and the background. If you want to change a colour of the words, click ‘Words colours’ and ‘Custom’ and add more colours to the pallette.

Step 6

To apply all the changes, press ‘Print’ or ‘Download’ your cloud and enjoy it in your lessons.

For this project, you’ll create a “word cloud” from a text by writing a script. This script needs to process the text, remove punctuation, ignore case and words that do not contain all alphabets, count the frequencies, and ignore uninteresting or irrelevant words. A dictionary is the output of the calculate_frequencies function. The wordcloud module will then generate the image from your dictionary.

The uploader widget saved the contents of your uploaded file into a string object named file_contents that your word cloud script can process. This was a lot of preliminary work, but you are now ready to begin your script.

def calculate_frequencies(file_contents):
    # Here is a list of punctuations and uninteresting words you can use to process your text
    punctuations = '''!()-[]{};:'",<>./?@#$%^&*_~'''
    uninteresting_words = ["the", "a", "to", "if", "is", "it", "of", "and", "or", "an", "as", "i", "me", "my",

    word_count = {}
    final_text = []
    
    for word in file_contents.split():
        text = ""
        for letter in word.lower():
            if letter not in punctuations and letter.isalpha():
                text += letter
            
        if word not in uninteresting_words:
            final_text.append(text)

    #wordcloud
    cloud = wordcloud.WordCloud()
    cloud.generate_from_frequencies(word_count)
    return cloud.to_array()

If you have done everything correctly, your word cloud image should appear after running the cell below. Fingers crossed!

# Display your wordcloud image

myimage = calculate_frequencies(file_contents)
plt.imshow(myimage, interpolation = 'nearest')
plt.axis('off')
plt.show()

If your word cloud image did not appear, go back and rework your calculate_frequencies function until you get the desired output. Definitely check that you passed your frequecy count dictionary into the generate_from_frequencies function of wordcloud. Once you have correctly displayed your word cloud image, you are all done with this project. Nice work!

Word clouds are a fun visualization of brainstorming sessions or student opinions but word clouds can be more than static images you prepare ahead of class. They can be dynamic, dancing pictures whose words capture students’ ideas and emotions live, in the moment. Word clouds are one of many active learning strategies that teachers can implement to engage visual learners. With Poll Everywhere’s word cloud, words move and grow as students respond live. Popular words get bigger and the colors change.

Some of the examples below come from the many teachers and educators who share their education word cloud activities on Twitter. Join the conversation by posting your own word clouds and tagging @PollEverywhere on Twitter.

You can also click to copy any of these word cloud activities to your Poll Everywhere account. Don’t have an account? Sign up for free today.

1. Icebreakers kickstart student engagement

The first week of class is a great time to dive in with an icebreaker question. Make the question as meaningful or nonsensical as you like – just phrase it in such a way that it solicits a one-word response. One-word responses are easier to read in the finished word cloud. Words that students submit multiple times grow larger than the rest and showcase the most popular responses.

• What’s your favorite weekend activity (one word)?
• I loved my summer vacation because I spent it doing… (via @dailystem)

2. Encourage sincerity to form new connections

Help students connect with each other over questions that bring up shared experiences, opinions, and emotions. Seeing how their peers respond gives students a chance to relate to one another in class.

• Who has had the most impact on your life?
• What’s your biggest goal for the year, in one word?
• What words would you like others to use when describing you?
• What is your WHY for attending this session today? (via @EdTech_Beard)
• What character trait do you look for in a new friend?

Use the responses as a jumping-off point to talk about the things that make students unique, and also completely normal. Invite students to elaborate on their responses. After sharing something personal in the anonymity of the word cloud, students often feel empowered to discuss personal topics out loud. You can also double down on anonymity by enabling anonymous responding for these activities.

3. Help students reach a consensus as a group

This is an education word cloud activity that can last the entire class period.

Open with a broad topic, perhaps: “What was the biggest contributing factor to the fall of the Roman republic?” Students post their one-word hypotheses in the word cloud. Everyone then takes a moment to read through the results and reflect on what was said.

Next, break your students into small groups. These groups research the topic of your word cloud. Meanwhile, you either clear the activity, or create a new one asking the same question. When students finish with research, ask them to submit a new response to your word cloud. Then compare and contrast the new and old results.

You can also ask students to defend their responses aloud. If any student changes their mind during this discussion, they can use the change response button in Poll Everywhere to update their response. It’s very satisfying to see a word cloud full of disparate responses reform around a few main ideas as the result of a lively debate.

4. Summarize topics to develop understanding

Challenge students to show understanding of a complex topic by summarizing it into a single word. This is an easy way to gauge familiarity with, or opinion of, a new topic. It can also be used for formative assessment as a way to reflect on the previous lecture. And because all students respond at once, you can hear from the entire room in the time it would take a few to respond aloud.

• What words or phrases does the word “environment” call to mind? (via @mcsardo)

5. Build empathy by checking emotional wellness

Check in with students and learn how they are coping with the stresses of school, friends, family, and life in general. Many educators find that emotional checkups such as this help them elicit trust from students, promote empathy in the classroom, and steer class time in a more positive direction. You don’t need to solve everyone’s problems right then and there. Sometimes it’s enough just to be reminded that we all carry these feelings inside us.

6. Quickly visualize brainstorming feedback

Live word clouds are an excellent scratch pad for brainstorming solutions with an entire class. Use this activity to kick off a new unit, or help students find a new approach to an old problem. Give students the ability to respond multiple times and encourage them to participate throughout the discussion. You can also choose to hide responses to any word cloud activity and only reveal them once everyone has finished. That way, students are not influenced by their peers’ responses.

7. Ease into deep discussions for genuine responses

There’s a phenomenon you will discover if you regularly use live polling in the classroom.

It’s called “snowballing vulnerability.” The Poll Everywhere presenter who coined the term conducts ground-breaking workshops that train students and employees to have effective conversations about conflict-laden topics, such as global warming and LGBTQ issues.

Here’s how it works: Kick off your conversation with a word cloud asking students how they felt about a past failure. When students see others responding honestly about failure, they tend to embrace the anonymity of the word cloud and speak out voluntarily. It’s a powerful moment.

The next time you’re anticipating a difficult discussion with your students, open with a word cloud, then move to a longer open-response question, and keep building out from there. Students are more likely to speak openly and honestly when you ease them into these conversations.

8. Pinpoint a theme to focus class discussion

Bring instant focus to class discussions by asking students to narrow the theme of a chapter, essay, speech, article, book, or poem down to a single word. This is a great way to help students prepare to write their own essays and research papers. It also makes for lively class discussions as students defend their one-word theme submissions.

Click to copy to your account

• What’s one thing you learned from that article? (via @GinaChomic)
• What’s the theme of ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ in one word?
• Describe the central theme of last night’s chapter in a single word
• In one word only, what’s the overarching theme of ‘The Sound and the Fury’?
• What are the characters discussing in ‘Hills Like White Elephants’?

9. Check for gaps in comprehension

Credit for this education word cloud activity goes to @NSmithScholars who uses them to get feedback from her students on what they learned that week. She calls it Flashback Friday, and it gives students a chance to show off what they know, while also signaling information they may have missed and needs additional review.

10. Visualize student reactions en-masse

This can elicit a very emotional response in the right circumstances.

Health education teacher Andrew Milne used a live word cloud to wrap up a student-to-student Pride presentation. Students in the audience were able to send one-word reactions to the students on the LGBTQ panel – with great success. It was an empowering moment for those on the panel to see words such as “brave”, “honest”, and “inspiring” grow larger and larger on the screen.

With a live word cloud from Poll Everywhere, you can capture a snapshot of student reactions to almost anything: new concepts, current events, special presentations, and more. Create your first live word cloud activity today.

Live Word Cloud Examples

Here, we asked 23 participants in a virtual meeting the question ‘Which city are you tuning in from?‘ 

Of all 23 responses, the most popular response is ‘Birmingham’, so it is the biggest word and sits in the centre of the cloud.

The next most popular responses are smaller. ‘Aberdeen’, ‘Leeds’, ‘Edinburgh’, ‘Liverpool’ and ‘London’ appear at the same size because all five responses were submitted the same number of times.

What Is A Word Cloud?

Word clouds, also known as tag clouds, are visual representations of text data. They are used to provide insight into the structure, content, and meaning of a text by displaying the most frequently used words in the text.

What Data Is Good For Word Clouds?

Drop your text, call transcripts, customer reviews, blog content, website copy and more and instantly see brands, locations, numbers, events, products and more visualized. With a Speak account, you can add custom keywords and phrases that will also appear in your visualizations! 

What Is The Purpose Of A Word Cloud?

This information can be useful for a variety of purposes, from market research to data analysis.

Words clouds are often used to explore relationships between words and phrases, allowing users to quickly gain an understanding of the text. For example, word clouds can be used to compare the language used in different files, identify the most frequently used words in a particular text, or uncover the meaning of a text by displaying the words in a visually appealing way.

The purpose of word clouds is to quickly convey information. By displaying the most frequently used words in a text, they can help to identify the main themes and topics of the text. This makes them a useful tool for market research, as they can help to identify the main topics that customers are interested in, as well as the language they use to talk about those topics.

Word clouds can also be used to compare multiple texts, audio files, video files and other types of unstructured language data media. Comparing the words used in each text can help to identify the similarities and differences between them. This can be useful for data analysis, as it can help to identify patterns and trends in the data.

Word clouds can also be used to help to get an understanding of the general sentiment of the text. For example, media full of negative words might imply a negative sentiment, while media with more positive words might imply a positive sentiment.

Word clouds can also be a useful tool for search engine optimization. Displaying the most important words and recurring words used in media can give you ideas and help you optimize your content for search engines. 

Who Uses Word Clouds?

Word clouds are a popular tool for businesses of all sizes to visualize large amounts of data in a visually pleasing way. Word clouds are used by businesses to gain insights from customer feedback, surveys, and other sources of data. They are used to provide an overall picture of how customers feel about a product, service, or company.

Word clouds are used by small and medium-sized businesses, marketing agencies, market research firms, organizations with 51 to 1,000 employees, marketers, qualitative researchers, customer experience managers, market researchers, product researchers, SEO specialists, business analysts, data scientists, academic researchers, business owners and more. 

Small & Medium Sized Businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses can use word clouds to gain insight into customer feedback and to get an overall picture of how customers feel about their product or service.

Word clouds can help small businesses gain a better understanding of the customer’s needs and wants, as well as what they are looking for in terms of product or service offerings. This understanding can be used to create better marketing campaigns and to help the business better understand its customer base.

Marketing Agencies

Marketing agencies can use word clouds to help them create more targeted campaigns. By understanding the customer’s needs and wants, marketing agencies can create campaigns that are more likely to resonate with the customer. Word clouds can also help marketing agencies identify the most popular words and phrases associated with a business or product, which can help them create more effective campaigns.

Market Research Firms

Market research firms can use word clouds to gain insights into customer feedback and to get a better understanding of customer sentiment. By understanding the customer’s needs and wants, market research firms can create better surveys and polls to gain more accurate feedback. Word clouds can also help market research firms identify the most common words and phrases associated with a business or product, which can help them create more effective surveys and polls.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Word Clouds

It is also worthwhile to explore the advantages and disadvantages of using word clouds to visualize data. We’ll look at why they are useful for business owners and professionals, and how they can be detrimental if not used correctly. After reading this article, you should have a better understanding of what word clouds can do and how to best use them for your business needs.

Advantages of Word Clouds

Easily Interpretable

Word clouds make complex data more easily interpretable by transforming it into an eye-catching visual that can be understood by even those who aren’t familiar with interpreting data reports. This makes it easier for customers and business owners alike to identify trends within their data sets quickly and accurately.

Quickly Identify Keywords

By filtering out unnecessary words and displaying only the most common terms in a visually appealing manner, word clouds allow users to quickly identify keywords that are relevant to their search query or project objectives.

Creates Aesthetic Visuals

Word clouds are an aesthetically pleasing way to present data in a way that looks visually appealing without sacrificing accuracy or readability. This makes them great for presentations or online content that requires visual appeal for maximum impact on viewers.

Affordable & Easy To Set Up

Setting up a word cloud is relatively easy and affordable compared to other types of data visualization tools. Many online tools allow users to quickly set up word clouds with minimal effort required, making them ideal for those who don’t want to invest too much time or money into creating visuals from their data sets.

Disadvantages of Word Clouds

May Not Be Accurate Representation Of Data

While word clouds do provide an aesthetically pleasing representation of selected terms within a given data set, they cannot accurately represent the full scope of the information contained within it due to their simplified nature – meaning that any conclusions drawn from these visuals should be taken with a grain of salt until confirmed by further analysis.

Reduced Readability

Since the sizes of words displayed in a word cloud are determined by frequency rather than grammar rules, it can be difficult for readers to parse out individual words without enough context surrounding them which can lead to difficulties in understanding what is being presented – particularly when trying to spot patterns within dense data sets with multiple terms involved.

Not Customizable Enough For Complex Projects

Although word clouds are great for quickly presenting basic information in an attractive visual format, they may not be detailed enough when working on more complex projects as there aren’t many options available when it comes to customization or formatting features offered with most available services or software programs – like changing colours/backgrounds/fonts etc., which could limit its effectiveness depending on the type project being worked on or result desired from the visualization process.
