Tagxego

Here's another word cloud idea.  It's called Tagxego.  You'll notice the difference right away. 

It's described as follows.  “Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning tag cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text.”

But beware!  Just like with Wordle, Tagxedo is not monitored.

Here’s a neat idea for spelling, vocabulary words or a poster for your classroom.  Try Wordle. 

“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.”

One word of warning.  Wordle is not monitored by an adult.  So it is possible that you could get there with a class only to find some rude examples in the ever-changing gallery.
