Manipulate

Once information is found on the internet, students and teachers need to be able to manipulate and decipher the information found. Here are a few free sites that offer a variety of ways to manipulate information.

Wordle: Wordle is a free site for manipulating text that you supply. This site creates a visual cloud of the text. The clouds allow you to examine the text visually. Words that are used frequently appear larger than the infrequent words. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. @Examples

the speech of President Obama...what words were prominent, which words were not? a paragraph about a character in a novel an original paragraph...what was the topic/main idea? art from text
