Create a word cloud (Wordle)

Create a word cloud (Wordle)

Thanks to this activity, your participants can send keywords and even Emojis, related to the title or question, which are projected live on your screen in the form of a cloud.
The more a word is sent, the bigger it gets and the more it moves towards the center of the slide.
Let your participants express themselves on a topic and collect the keywords that come up most often.

To create a Word cloud activity, click on "Add a slide" at the top left of your session, and select the "Word cloud" activity on the tab that opens. 



Once you have selected the Word cloud activity, you will have access to the edition panel of the activity, on the right of your screen.
