What is a live word cloud?
A live word cloud is an interactive tool that displays words based on frequency of use. It can be used as an ice breaker at the beginning of any meeting as it helps people get acquainted and learn about each other.
Live word clouds work for example by using Sendsteps. It gives a (large) group of people the opportunity to create an overview of the thoughts and ideas by displaying words in real-time on the presentation screen. Those words are related to the question being asked. The more a word is submitted, the bigger it becomes. This encourages conversation by making people talk about what they are most interested in. This exercise can also be done with keywords rather than words, which would create different results but still allow for interaction among team members.
Why use a live word cloud?
A live word cloud is both an ice breaker and a way to generate interactive discussion among team members. If you are looking for ways to make your meetings more engaging and creative, then this is a great way to start!
Other ways to create interactivity in a team meeting
Another way you can create interactivity in a team meeting is by making teams work together through group brainstorming tasks. This method forces people who don't normally work together to collaborate with one another in order to come up with creative solutions that everyone can agree on.
This type of activity creates lots of conversational topics for your team members to discuss and the added bonus is it's interactive!
With Sendsteps it is possible to make all your meetings interactive. Sendsteps offers a wide range of features like word clouds, open-ended questions, multiple choice, and quiz questions to make your meeting as interactive as possible. Try it for yourself!
