         Wordle (http://www.wordle.net/) is a tool or what the website calls it a "toy" for generating word clouds. Wordle is very user friendly and fun to use. All you have to do is click create and you will be lead to an empty box where you will insert all the words you want to use. Once you have inputted all your words and pressed go, Wordle will create a wordcloud with all your words. You can change the style of the text, color, and how you want the words to be organized and layed out.

         This tool can be used for many things and different subjects in a classroom. Wordle can be used for vocabulary, wordsearch, parts of speech, and many more. There is actually a similar website as Wordle called Tagxedo, where the only difference is you can choose an image you will like your words to be placed into. See picture below. Both websites are equally a fun and useful tool, but I still believe Wordle is a little more user friendly.
