An example of maniupulting the output from a collocates/pattern table in Just the Word as input for the ADVANCED feature of WORLDE.

Hi Sheryl - glad you found it useful. You are quite right about the spreadsheet idea...I tend to use EXCEL and some of the basic TEXT, LOOKUP and FILTER options to manipulate lexical data I get from various sources. I did leave several suggestions for PHIL at the JustTheWord user group in GOOGLE to make the 'mash up' between JTW and WORDLE more seamless. But, as you suggest, copying and pasting the data into a spreadsheet is the only way to do this at the moment. Spreadsheets aren't everyone's cup of tea, but perhaps we could provide a template for the faint at heart, which can make it easier.... I also use the same technique to extract 'sets' from Mark Davies corpus sites at http://corpus.byu.edu as well as vocabulary profiles at Tom Cobb's Lextutor site at http://lextutor.ca -- Of course, PC-based software like ANTCONC and ANTWORDPROFILE also output data that can easily be manipulated into the ADVANCED feature of WORDLE. Here are some WORDLEs in my public gallery that show the results...the ones contrasting OBAMA and McCAIN speeches are quite interesting. http://www.wordle.net/gallery?username=BNL2709 My background is EFL, so I find other sources of lexical sets like http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=mouse&btn=Shrink+Set+%28to+15+items+or+fewer%29 also useful as input to WORDLE. :)

I'll look over these resources. Yes, I made WORDLES of Obama and McCain. I think one reason these types of web applications are so interesting is to view the ways in which we teach and learn....what our commonalities are.

I love data visualizations, and it's Friday. So here's the Wordle for appslab.com as of August 28-ish.

"Concordle has one point common with Wordle: it makes word clouds. But these are only text, and in a browser in general the choice of fonts is limited, so the clouds are not so very pretty. But it is much more clever: All the words in the cloud are clickable, i.e. they have links to concordancer function. "

Quirky little javascript, but I am using this as a way to introduce students to the notion of word frequency and the application of a KWIC. See 'wikisheet' at http://kristinaweb20.pbworks.com/activity+-+introduction+to+ddl for an 'introduction to data-driven learning' with a Concordle task.

Thanks Sheryl I've been wondering for a few months now how to get my head around this type of skillet and it is cool how this site references ideas and how to's of infographic creation. This is a Critical Literacy of future and essential for current students. #CritLit2010

My first contribution to the UTechTips site! On to the Tips… Apparently, I am very late on the bus with this particular tool However, I looked at whether it had been covered on UTechTips and I think that often with Web 2.0 tools, we find that we are bringing in new readers in our faculty ALL THE TIME. So how do they go back and discover new tools or read some of the great posts of our past?

interactive tools and ways to use them in school libraries. Wordle - creates word clouds from pieces of text, rss feeds or tag clouds. Higher-frequency words become larger than others, providing a visual demonstration of their probable importance.

Wordle is a neat application that allows you to paste text in and it will create a tag cloud formation with the most used words appearing larger than others.
