Why not try using wordle? [|http://wordle.net] Hint: To save your Wordle use the Print Screen function (usually Prt Scr button on the top right of the keyboard). This captures whatever is on the screen and stores it into the computers memory. Then on a blank slide in PowerPoint choose paste and crop your Wordle picture (using the Crop tool in the Picture tools) to get rid of all the menus and extra bits that you do not want. Now right click on the image and choose Save Picture. You now have your Wordle just as a picture file which could go into a wiki, PhotoStory, Movie, Podcast, Glogster or whatever. Perhaps Glogster would appeal more (you could even use your Wordle image as the background to a Glogster page)
