** Deb Boisvert ** > > ** Kathy Malsbenden** [|Wordle-][|http://wordle.net] - Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

 * [|VoiceThread] - WOW!!! If you haven't tried this one, it's awesome. can be used for digital storytelling. You can either upload photos into VoiceThread, or you can pull them in across the web from Flickr. It creates a slideshow. But then, you can record audio for each picture telling a story. Then you share your finished project. BUT IT GETS BETTER! You can view and listen to someone's VoiceThread. If you have a story of your own to share or simply want to comment on an image, you click a button and you're on your way. Think of it as an audio/visual blog post. Yes, the comments can be moderated.
