WordItOut 02/07/2010
 If you are tired of Wordle because it just does not have enough customization features for you, then WordItOut may be just what you are looking for. It has similar features to Tagul, (arguably not as many though) in as far as you can change fonts, colors and the number of words displayed. You can also frame your cloud by dragging the edges so that there is no negative space. Word clouds can be private, or shared and embedded as you see fit. Here are some ideas if you want to use it in the classroom. CommentsSun, 07 Feb 2010 15:15:04 I am seeing this one everywhere this weekend. I like that you can include punctuation and math equations as part of the word clousd. This is a nice feature for the math classroom! Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:08:40 I spent a lot of time playing with this when I first read about it. I'm thrilled that it allows use of the equal sign for math facts. Definitely the answer to the cons of Wordle. Wed, 10 Feb 2010 04:47:23 I can't wait to try this out. I have enjoyed using Wordle in the past and this like even more fun? :-) Matthew Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:02:53 I just recently received a Smartboard in my room and I have been begging my administration to get provide me with some training. So far, nothing has come of my pestering but I hope that these ideas you all posted are helpful. I love using the Smartboard, especially for math. Thanks for the help everyone!
