Hi all,
I’m running an online Open Space using Zoom in a couple weeks and would love to create a WordCloud as a check-in and/or check-out with the group. We’ll have a Google Doc for session notes. Google Docs has an add-on that generates a WordCloud but it only shows on my screen.
Does anyone know of a way, with a group of 50-100, that we can create a WordCloud in real time from people’s responses to a check-in question?
Or, alternatively, any suggestions for a simple check-in or check-out beyond entering a few words in the chat?
Thanks, Peggy
P.S. The invitation is here:?. The gathering is for journalism students and educators around the question: In?the midst of upheaval, what’s possible to prepare the next generation of journalists?

Hello:
You might try to use Wordcloud.net.? It is great for generating simple yet elegant word clouds. You can create them in real time.? You may have to have a co-host assist you with inputting the words from the responses from your attendees so that you can facilitate?the meeting.? As for check in and check out questions, you can use the Mad Tea LS with questions that capture the feelings and words from your participants.?
Good luck!

I tried and it took me to a web development site []. I checked a bit further and there seems to be a word cloud generator at . You might want to try that one.

Hi all. To speed up the check-out with a word cloud, I’ve offered simultaneously two ways for participants to contribute: a) Share the QR Code for Menti (or other any word cloud generator) b) Paste the link into chat In this way people can input their words through their cell phones or computers. After some seconds you may start sharing the screen with the word cloud being formed in real time. Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Hi Peggy!
I really like Sli.do <>?for WordClouds, and many people have recommended Mentimeter <>?as well.
Besides writing in Zoom Chat (when using Zoom), I’ve supported written Check In/Outs in Google docs; as one-word or one-phrase spoken in an order (which can be posted in the chat to make it easy to follow). It’s surprising how quickly even a large-ish group can check in or out if the sharing is kept to a word or a phrase - you can do the same thing with a sound or movement that expresses what you want to share. You could also write (or draw) something on a piece of paper and hold it up in your video window, either everyone all at once, or in an order.
Love to you and all,
Amy ?

I hope to hear other responses and ideas from this group – I’ve learned so much from these discussions. We just ended a two hour virtual session the other week in a similar way – we had three
evaluative questions on mentimeter.com (menti.com), and one resulted in a word cloud. It worked really great, and you may be able to use the free version – I *think* you can have an unlimited audience. We have an annual subscription so we can keep the
same code over multiple questions. It’s been a great tool for us.

Best wishes!

I've seen menti and vevox used effectively, and there are dozens of options now. Not sure on costs or relative ease of use from a set up perspective though.?

Thank you so much for the suggestions! It was very?helpful for me too.
