You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share...

Here are 48 interesting ways to use Wordle in the classroom.  Rodd Lucier shares 20 more tips to using Wordle here.

I plan to have my MBA students use Wordle as an ice breaker for the first day of class in the spring. Each student will put together and make a one minute presentation using Wordle as a visual aid with key words. I think it will be a great way to use technology to start the semester.
