I have no windows and a lot of white walls in my classroom. I was sitting in my room staring at this blank space and suddenly Wordle popped into my head. What if I created a Wordle of the elements and painted it on the wall? I don't know if the administration will allow it, but below is what I created on hall duty today. What do you think? Coolest Periodic Table ever!!
Sometimes we need to change our mindset and flip how we view the world. Hopefully this blog will help start that change.

Great idea! How cool would it be to create a Wordle like this where the size reflects each element's natural abundance? Not that you'd able to read some of them, but a great visual nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteThe other program for word clouds that is popular is Tagxedo and I know you can give different values for different words to change the sizes. That would be an interesting project to assign to a class to see what kind of word clouds they come up with. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteYou can just input the same element several times in relationship to how large you want it to be.
