ABCya! Word Clouds Designed for Educators

While I love Wordle, I've become concerned with the content of the Wordle Gallery and the fact that saving word clouds is not as easy as I'd like. ABCya! is a free word cloud service that allows users to create and save word clouds in a variety of formats. Also, there is no gallery, eliminating the fear that students will see inappropriate word clouds created by others. (For an alternative to both Wordle and ABCya! click here.) Personally, my favorite way to use them is as an advanced organizer that allows students to "preview" before reading.
