Wordle
Wordle is an application that allows the user to create word clouds from selected text. You can either nominate a website address, a del.icio.us account, you can just cut and paste the text or you can type it into the box. This is a great way for students to visually represent how the words in a piece of text also have a heirarchy.

Timetoast - Digital Timeline
Timetoast is one of the Web 2.0 digital timeline creators. It is easy to use and can be constructed quickly by students with absolute minimal instruction. I like the hotspots that are activated by the mouse when you scroll over them. This is perfect for adding another layer of information to your timeline. This is a great tool to use with any age when you want them to see an event of a series of events within a context.
