W = Wordle #GETABC

W is for Wordle 

(GTG's #GETABC Series = Green, Education, & Tech*)

What in the world is Wordle?   A tool for creating "word clouds," Wordle allows you to showcase your text in a number of ways.  The visual is up to you--tweak the fonts, the layout, the color.  Copy and paste a text into the Wordle generator, and you can see the prominence of the words you used (or overused).

Note:  In an attempt to meld my pursuits of green, education, and technology, "GET" and this ABC series began...as did my twitter thread #GETABC.  To see the inception of #GETABC and give yourself a tidbit of background, go to GTG's True Confessions & Whirling Dervishes.
