Step 1: Ask One Open-Ended Question
Word clouds work best with short responses — ask for one word or a short phrase.
Step 2: Launch After Context
Give 30 seconds of context before opening submissions so responses stay on topic.
Step 3: Display on the Main Screen
Project the growing cloud so contributors see their words appear — it encourages more submissions.
Step 4: Discuss the Top Terms
Use the largest words as discussion starters to turn data into dialogue.
