media type="custom" key="11529792" A Word Cloud is a artistic arrangement, or cloud, of words that represents an idea. The larger the word, the more significant they are to the concept.

There are lots of ways you can collect words to describe a concept. The easiest way to collect words for your cloud is to copy the text from a paper you've written, or from a reliable website about the topic. If you are using a word cloud to represent ideas or opinions, you could use GoogleDoc Forms to collect key words from your friends.

 * Decide whether you want words all horizontal, all vertical, combination of horizontal/vertical, or any which way.
 * Select a font, color, and style that goes with the topic.
