Wordle

allows you to create word clouds from text that you provide. You type out words into a box, the more you type a word, the bigger the word will appear in your word cloud. Wordle also allows you to submit a url from a blog and it will instantaneously create a word cloud for your blog. You can edit your word cloud to your specifications by changing the fints, layout and color scheme. You can print them out, or save it to share with your friends. This has got to be one of the coolest tech tools I've used thus far.

This is an effective and fun tool to incorporate in education. It allows students to brainstorm ideas on a topic and visualize them in a creative way. Student's can get more creative with Wordle by editing their word clouds to make it an original piece of work. 

Check out two of the word clouds I created, one describing my son and the other submitted from this tech blog. Check out Wordle to create your word cloud today!
