Great online tool for students to check spelling and use a thesaurus feature. Reads words out loud if needed, and will find words that are spelling "close enough".
Wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
Site to make word "art". I have used this in the revision process for writers who are redundant in their word choice; the more frequently a word is entered, the larger it appears on the finished project. Students can copy and paste their document into the website for this effect.
