I really like the 'Wordle' tool, I think I am drawn to the visual aspect of it. I am thinking that I will use it in my survey results chapter for my dissertation. It would be a very interesting way to present the results of the open ended questions that I asked the participants....however it just depends on what my supervisor thinks......
Have a look at this link - it compares the inaugural speeches of American presidents - the 'wordle' emphasises what each envisoned for the country.

- I am a bit of an odd bod, as you can see from the rest of my profile! I don't like to be predictable, however I probably am!
I love the different way to show the different focus of the speeches. I have played around with wordle (once i worked out how to get it working, I needed to download Java) and have mentioned this post within one of mine and was wondering if it gave you a notification that I had.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I find Wordle so interesting. The emphasised words really starts the mind thinking! I couldn't find out how to operate it either, but after downloading Java (thanks Carly) it works!
