Mike Gorman returns with 125 ways to use Word Clouds in your classroom. Although focused on Wordle any of the many tools available to create word clouds could be used. Gorman has taken the time to organize these ways into the following categories:
* All Subjects
* Science
* Language Arts
* Social Studies
* Math
* Health and PE and Consumer Sciences
* Art and Music
* Foreign Languages
* Applied Arts
* Careers
Below are two of the 125 suggestions. The first one is for science.
