I'm not sure you meant to show the windows and desktop? This screenshot should be edited in Paint so only the Wordle is showing. It will not only be larger to focus in on the desired verbiage, but it will also look much cleaner/better. :) It is interesting to see which words pop up the largest - Textbooks and technology seem appropriate, but the other words have little significance to the post. That is what makes Word clouds a valuable tool - they can help students analyze and improve their writing! For example, when you see "use" and "using" in bigger size, it indicates your use of those words often in the post - what other words might you use in your own writing to get across the point without duplicating common words.
