Using the website
abcya.com, I created a word cloud based on my subject area, Science.
The program was very easy to use. You were prompted to type whatever words you wanted based on your topic. Then, the program generated the wordcloud. You are able to customize the colors, font size, and placement of the words in the cloud. This program would be great to use as an activity to either introduce vocabulary or to check what vocabulary students remember from the unit.
Beyond the word cloud program, abcya.com is a fantastic site for students to use in the classroom. I use this website frequently in the district I work in. The students absolutely love the games and activities on the website. There are math games, word work, read aloud books, and keyboarding skills just to name a few. It is a great website to use as a reward or to develop skills in the classroom.
