Wordle 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

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. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. I simply use a screen capture to keep mine. What a great way to save keywords for brainstorms in the classroom. Below is an example.

 

Issuu

 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Explore a world of publications by people and publishers alike. Collect, share and publish in a format designed to make your documents look their very best. My example is below (or click here for a larger version). Watch the video below for more information. A great way to share your publications for students and teachers alike.
