Wordle is a free, online tool that generates word clouds based on a text a user provides.
Wordle gives greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. Consequently, it will provide an accurate visual of the key words used most often in the text, giving clues of the most important piece of information.
Wordle is a good tool for teachers who want to present especific vocabulary, to show key words in a short story or in an exam. The use of this tool will depend on your imagination. The cons are that as it is online you will need internet connection. In addition, it does not develop your students' writing skill, it is just a helper you give to your students when working on a specific task.
