The Mansfield Librarians Wordle- What We Do in a Day!


The Mansfield Librarians Wordle- What We Do in a Day!
Recently, Mansfield librarians discussed what our typical work day entails.Pam Pinkerton, librarian at Legacy High School, took all of the descriptions listed by librarians and created a Wordle.

A Wordle, http://www.wordle.net/, is an online program that creates word clouds by taking all of the text entered into the program and using the words that appear most often in the text.  The more often the word appears in the list, the larger the word appears in the finished Wordle. It is a great tool for the classroom, because it captures key points, introduces new vocabulary and creates spelling lists.

The Mansfield Librarians Wordle- What We Do in a Day! gives a great visual of the impact that librarians have on their campus everyday!
