Tagxedo takes a piece of text and turns it into a beautiful piece of word art. The site is free, user-friendly, and does not even require an e-mail address to use. Copy and paste text, and then customize your word art in a matter of minutes. This is a great application to use for studying main ideas and key words, or to spark a discussion with your class. Once your word cloud has been created, you have the option to embed it into your web site, print it, or save it as a jpeg. I find this application to be more reliable than its more well-known counterpart, Wordle. For a brief tutorial on Tagxedo, watch http://screencast.com/t/8yVRyfo4.
