What is it?
In a Wordcloud activity, students enter words in response to a question or prompt. The words that all of the students enter then appear instantly as a colourful graphic, with the most popular responses appearing the largest. The graphic becomes larger as more students answer. Students can both see the way their peers have answered and contribute their thoughts to the group.
What is it useful for?
A Wordcloud is a really good way to check student knowledge or understanding and to use peer feedback to support learning.
*Please note that the new 'Wordcloud' activity replaces this Activity.
