I just love word clouds. There is something cool and beautiful about seeing all the words of your blog, twitter feed, or favorite book combined together to make a piece of art. However it’s not just to something to look at and admire, it’s also a tool. Teachers can use these for many different purposes: get to know students, find key words in a text, creating a site words poster and lots more.
Here is a list of different word cloud generators as well as some resources for more ideas on how to use them. How do you use them in your classroom? Which one is your favorite?

I watched your Simple K12 session concerning Google Forms. I have created a bullying form using Google forms. I do not want ownership of that document. I want to transfer the ownership of that document to our school nurse. I do not want to see the spreadsheet or anything else connected to that document. Is there a way to do that?
Hi Kathy,
You have an excellent question! I actually have never turned over ownership of a document I create, but I did find an answer here. It seems pretty simple. The other person you shared your document with just has to have a gmail address in order for the change of ownership to take place. You just have to go to settings of that page and click on the drop down menu next to the person you shared it with, and change them to “is owner.” Hope that helps Kathy!
