I have used Wordle in my classroom. I have used it in Social Studies to showcase important quotes or people. You could also use it in LA to highlight story elements (character, setting, plot), vocabulary, or word study. The drawback with using Wordle with you entire class is the volume of toner or ink that you need to use to do an entire classroom. I tried once to do it in pairs but there was a lot of disagreement over what accents etc. to use to make it look great. Each person had their own preference.

Now that I see that there is a way to simply save it, we could pop it into a PowerPoint, Prezi, or pull up the wiki and share it too...no ink/toner needed.

A suggestion made to stay on topof tech advances is to define a need based on your needs and the needs of yourstudents. This can drive you to make a decision for a tool, match it to anassignment, and get proficient with it as you share it and watch your studentsrun with it.
