About this tool

Collect one-word answers from the whole class — synonyms for "happy," predictions for a story, associations with a vocabulary word — and this tool turns the list into a word cloud you can project right away. Words that come up more often show up bigger, so patterns in the class's thinking become visible at a glance. It works well as a warm-up, a brainstorm, or a quick way to see what stuck after a reading. Paste in the answers and watch the cloud take shape in front of the class.
