Word clouds have been around for years now and have been used in every level of education and probably every conceivable subject area.

Though they may sometimes be overused or even seem a little hokey, they are also a REALLY easy way to add a little visual flare to your class or lecture. Plus, they’re super easy to make and completely free!

If you’re looking for a tool that will let you create word clouds in any shape you like (like an apple!), with your choice of colors, and as many words as you like, then check out WordArt.com.

This easy to use site will let you customize your word cloud to your heart’s content, then download it for free.

If you’re looking for other alternatives, this blog post from Control Alt Achieve is a great place to start.
