Fun with Wordle

A fellow teacher told me about a website called Wordle.net that creates word art from a chunk of text.  The size of each word increases in proportion to the frequency of the word's appearance.  I am planning on using this in my class to create Wordles for each class.  I will put in all the student's names and ask them to choose three words that describe themselves.  I am planning on posting the word art on our class website, as well as printing it and hanging them in the classroom.  This is part of our class culture building we are doing this week.
