    Wordle is a great Web 2.0 tool to motivate students to look at word choice in their writing. The words that are used frequently, are displayed larger in the word cloud.

    Wordle is a site for creating "word clouds." Paste text into the site and it will automatically create a word cloud. The larger words indicate the words that are used frequently in the text. Students can put a piece of writing to see which words are overused. There is a gallery to display your wordle with everyone.

    Wordle helps create word clouds. You enter words and the more often a word is entered, the larger the word will appear in the word cloud. It's a fun way to make posters that are fun and informative. It would be a good way to have students create posters over books they've read, end of the unit displays, etc. One tip that I received for Wordle is that it is helpful to type your words in a Word document first so that you can edit them and make sure they are all spelled correctly. If you have a typo in your Wordle, you can't edit it. You have to retype all of the words.

    Great for listing words to a related topic. Have used it to make Mother's Day card with the students.

    This site allows the user to enter a vocabulary list and create flashcards, take tests and much more over the words. User can share the words with others via the internet. Retesting is possible. This would be great for students to use to help study vocabulary and learn new words.

    This site offers many set of "flashcards" and allows you to create you own. It then creates games for you to play to learn your vocabulary.

    This website allows both teachers and students to create virtual flashcards using classroom concepts. Students can also use the flashcards to study by playing games and taking quizzes.

    Students play hangman. They can play the game using different holidays as a theme (Fourth of July to St. Patrick's Day). It gives students the opportunity to use letters and sound relationships, and they have to figure out what words can be made by the letters chosen (or not). The students have to learn to look at the entire word in order to see what would make sense. It helps that the word they are trying to figure out corresponds with the holiday chosen.

    Glogster lets you create a glog or an "interactive poster," that is, in effect, a personal Web page complete with embedded media links, sound, and video capabilities. Students can work with Glogster individually or as a group to create presentations, share information, and interact with their peers. Glogster now provides master-accounts for teachers integrating all student accounts. This is a very cool classroom tool.

    Glogster is a site that allows you to mix movies, pictures, graphics and words to create a collage for others to view. This site is also perfect for your WIKIs. This link takes you to the educator's version of glogster. This site has educator's master virtual classrooms for using all the tools offered on this website.

      This sounds great for elementary or middle school or perhaps a specialized project for secondary.

      This looked interesting for organizations or groups at school. However, when I checked out the web site, it wasn't what was described here.

    In helping students prepare for the future this would be an excellent tool to help them create a quality resume without having to understand the sometimes complex parts of Microsoft Word such as tabs, indents, etc. This site would allow students to create multiple resumes for free!

    This site is really fun, and I think it would work for ALL ages:-) When I use it is when the kids are learning about a plot graph. We will read a short story that has clear elements (exposition, complications, etc), then the kids will have to change the story into their own words, showing me in each cartoon slide, that they understand what those elements are.

    This is an online notice board maker where you can post announcements, greetings, jokes; just about anything you would want to put on a Post It. I think this would be a great tool for students to use in a note taking assignment. This would be fun to collaborate multiple students' posts and try to combine them randomly to create a funny poem or short story.
