ABCya! Word Clouds is a site very similar to Wordle.  However, it does allow users to save the image as a .jpg file!  Check it out! 

Live Binders

Check out the cool website Live Binders!  There is also a short video describing how Live Binders work; look for it on the right hand side.

It's an interactive binder where you can store a ton of work!  If you struggle with organization, this might be a great tool to use!
