Word Cloud

By creating a Wordle, you can create word clouds that relate to the content you are talking about. I find this a very interesting site.  I created my first Wordle in an under grad class and was thinking about doing one with my fifth graders. I'm glad we did this because know I know how to make one and how it can get all of the student involved.

Using the Wordle demonstrated ISTE NETS Standard 3: Model Digital-Age Work and Learning.
