This is a word cloud of my blog made on Wordle. This site is nice because it gives you the option of making really attractive pieces of art with your texts. You could ask learners to make one of these at home, perhaps with a given piece of text. If you show them how to remove words with from it, change the fonts, colours etc, they will have the opportunity to really look at the words they choose to include and this process may help with memorisation. You could give them a list of vocabulary that you have taught them in the past month, perhaps and ask them to produce something interesting with it as homework.
It's the prettiest of the word cloud sites, I think, but a drawback is that it is quite difficult to get a soft copy from the site, although you can print out a hard copy or save your word cloud to the public gallery.
