TagCrowd (http://tagcrowd.com/) takes the presentation that one is going to do in class and creates a word cloud of the words that are most important to the training topic. Students can see which words will be most relevant to what they are learning by the size of the words in the word cloud. TagCrowd allows its users the option to download the word cloud to a pdf file or it gives it the code to embed into a website of blog. TagCrowd does allow the user to change the fonts, style, color scheme but for a small onetime fee of $19. The ability to omit words, determine the number of vocabulary words that you want your word cloud to have and the embed codes given to you make it surpass some of their free counterparts like Wordle because what you can do with the word cloud once it is completed is limited.

Located on this graphic organizer website, Education Oasis, offers its users 58 different graphic organizers to printout and utilize for classroom use. These graphic organizers download as PDF files, which an Adobe Reader is needed to view and print them (as most Internet users have and utilize), make for clearer images, but unless you have purchased Adobe, you are unable to modify the graphic organizer to your needs. This site was picked because of its large variety of free graphic organizers for printing purposes with my students, which enhance learning of all students because of the variety of organizers that can be utilized for various lessons.
