This is like Wordle - and you can form the words into shapes. I like that there is a link to "101 Ways to Use Tagxedo" for ideas for teachers (although I would caution teachers to have an educational goal in mind so using the program doesn't become just a "Wow" factor use)

Tagxedo allows you to create word clouds in shapes. It has customizable fonts and a print feature. A nice alternative to Wordle.

This website allows you to make a "word cloud" of important words to make things such as thank yous, a way to intro a topic, a way to introduce a new book, and more.

Voice Thread is a way to create a presentation that can be a collaboration with others.  You can use text or audio to comment on a presentation.  You can also view other presentations. 

This allows teachers to hold a forum. Students can reply with audio or text to a question. They can even draw on the existing image to make a point. Others in the group can then respond in turn.

As you could tell from our class using it, I think this would be great for small group discussions versus the whole class. I could see this being used efficiently for a group presentation that the students would create and then have another group comment on the voice thread for pointers on what to consider, etc. This resource is definitely both uses depending on how you set it up whether it is a teacher forum or a student led forum.

Great site to use for collaborative projects. So many ways to share and communicate.

Symbaloo gives you a great place to book mark specific websites, videos, or documents to use in your classroom at a later time.

This is a very easy and colorful way to keep track of those bookmarks a user wants on multiple computers. This is very easy even for those who are not tech savvy.
