Many teachers like to use word clouds either as a teaching tool themselves or as a tool for students to look at and analyze the content or themes of their reading and writing. Unfortunately, many of the most popular tools are not compatible with Chromebooks, which has limited their use in classrooms where most devices are Chromebooks.
Tagul.com is a tool that allows you to create very customized word clouds with ease. It allows single log-on with Google, so it's very compatible with our Google Apps for Education environment. It also lets you customize word choices; choose shapes, colors, fonts and layouts; and download or share in a variety of ways.
Control Alt Achieve has a review of other Chromebook-compatible word cloud generation tools as well as Tagul.
