    This website creates word clouds and is often used to begin concept mapping or brainstorming. Students can list words that connect with each other and create a visual. Word clouds can be altered by size of the words, color, and shape.

    I've always liked this site, but often forget about it. I think kids enjoy brainstorming and creating these. I think for World Languages it has great potential as kids often just need fun ways to practice and recall words! These are also fun to save and post on class blogs, wikis, etc.

    This is a great site for creating truly beautiful word clouds. It has some amazing implications for classroom use with both a traditional word cloud and some crazy uses I have seen on blogs and at conferences. It is specifically helpful in the classroom to help students see commonalities with text. I really believe that this resource is mostly for student use. They can create their own word clouds, screen shot them, and save them for projects in the future. It provides a simple, but elegant, workflow and space for students to create. The FAQ section also provides some nice work arounds and ideas as well. There are a few similar sites out there that have cropped up, but this one is really the granddaddy of them all and probably the best one too. When was the last time you made a word cloud?

    I really love this cite. It's a great way to create a project, poem, presentation, etc. in a unique way. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. Students can use it as an alternate way to complete an assignment and teachers as an alternate way to present instruction. I myself use it often for my words wall words of the week. Thanks for sharing Kelsey.

    Thank you Kelsey for posting this, I've seen these word clouds on websites and other places but didn't know how to make them. Now I don't have to look any further. I think this resource will be something that I could use in my classroom. It may be a tool used so students can see what words they use most in their writing or for a poetry unit. It is definitely something that I can see myself using for graphic works, either on a blog, yearbook page, or poster. This is something that I feel both students and teachers can use, but mostly students. I know there are similar sites out there, but not sure what they are.

    I love this cite to do word wall words and other things. I used it a great deal last year but had forgotten about it. It is not only a good resource for the teacher but the kids love it to. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site.

    What a great collection of Web 2.0 resources in on spot. I had no idea there was so much available in some of the areas. This site would be a great time-saver when looking for a specific tool. I've seen other lists, but this is well organized and easy to navigate.
