Please bring your class list, spelling words, a poem, or just come!
Wordle is a great way 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.

So what can I do with the image:
Print from the cloud when you make it.
Save in the gallery and email your teacher the link of your cloud
Print it to another file and use it in powerpoint, word, photostory, keynote, etc.
How:
1) Windows XP, Print Screen button prints the entire screen. Alt Print Screen button prints the current window. Go into paint, paste, save as type JPEG
2) Vista and Windows 7 Snipping tool, save as type JPEG
3) Macintosh Command, Shift 4 lets your crop and saves as a preview file. Merely open and click in drop down to save as JPEGhttp://www.abcya.com/word_clouds.htm
