Cool site- Wordle

Check this out-
I created it at a site called Wordle.
I copied and pasted the whole play- Romeo and Juliet into the box and then the program tabulates which words are the most repeated. The bigger the word the more times it is used in the text. It is really cool. You can change the layout, the color and the shape and save it to a gallery. Try it.

Read this and tell me if you think it would work. Is what the article says about why kids cheat accurate? How do we show that learning is more important than grades in this society?
