=STUDENT WORD CLOUDS=

=INFORMATION= There are many different websites available that will let you create your own word clouds, here are 8 that you can try out:

Probably my favourite word cloud generator, and the one I tend to use most of the time. It doesn’t generate fancy shapes, but it works well at what it does. It does need Java to run, so I do sometimes hit problems on some networks that are over-zealous on security.

Tagxedo is my second favourite. It also allows you to create fancy shaped clouds, so many people will prefer it over Wordle for that reason. Tagxedo can even export as a [|file good enough to print on a tshirt]. [|http://www.tagxedo.com] ABCya is a simplified word cloud maker aimed at younger students or for a simple product

[|**4. Tagul**] Like Tagxedo, Tagul lets you create word clouds in various different shapes. It’s very simple to use. []

[|**5. Tagcrowd**] Tagcrowd is more like wordle in that you can’t choose the shapes, but it works quite well. []

[|**6. Worditout**] Another simple wordcloud generator, like Wordle and Tagcrowd you can’t choose the shape. []

[|**7. Word Mosaic**] Word Mosaic lets you choose the shape of the world cloud from a small variety of shapes. []

[|**8. Wordsift**] This is slightly different to the others in that the word cloud produced is pretty basic. But it does have the additional feature of linking each word to a visual thesaurus. Click on the word to get it’s meaning, and see how it is linked to other words. @http://wordsift.com/
