Problem:
- I was searching for a tool I could use to make word clouds in real time. Word clouds are images that display the frequency of text – the larger the word, the more often that text has been repeated.
- I tried a plugin for Zoom but it was complicated and didn’t work well.
I shelved my need for a real-time word cloud maker until …..
Calling on all creative people! (That’d be you.)
Ever heard of Wooclap?
If not, you’re in for a treat!
Wooclap is an easy, effective engagement tool for events or presentations (both online and in-person).
It’s like your secret weapon to keep your audience on their toes and make sure they’re not dozing off during your next meeting or workshop.
So, what exactly is Wooclap?
Well, imagine this: you’re giving a presentation, and instead of just staring at blank faces in the crowd, you see people actively participating, answering questions, and even competing with each other in quizzes.
That’s Wooclap in action.
It’s a platform that allows you to create interactive polls, quizzes, word clouds, and more, all in real time. It turns your audience into active participants rather than passive listeners. And it makes you look like the rockstar you are.
To get started simply sign up for an account (it’s free).
Once you’re in, you can start creating your interactive activities. You can choose from a variety of question types, like multiple choice, open-ended, rating scales, and even brainstorming sessions.
Next, it’s time to spice things up! You can customize your activities with funky designs, colors, and even GIFs to make them more engaging.
Trust me, nothing gets people excited like a dancing cat GIF popping up on the screen during a quiz!
Once you’ve created your activities, it’s showtime.
Simply launch your Wooclap session during your event or presentation, and watch your participants engage.
They can participate using their smartphones, tablets, or laptops, so there’s no excuse for anyone to sit on the sidelines.
But here’s the best part: you get instant feedback and insights from your audience in real time.
Wooclap collects all the responses and displays them in colorful charts and graphs, so you can see which questions got people buzzing and which ones fell flat.
Here’s an example wordcloud participants made around selecting their core team values.
After lots of group discussion Wooclap made it easy to see which values stood out so we could finalize them.
It’s like having your own personal cheering squad cheering you on (or letting you know when you need to step up your game).
Wooclap also has features like gamification, where you can award points and badges to participants to keep them motivated. You can even set up competitions and leaderboards to see who’s the ultimate trivia master in the room.
So, whether you’re hosting a virtual meeting, giving a workshop, or throwing a party, Wooclap is your go-to tool for keeping your audience engaged, entertained, and coming back for more.
