This document discusses adding word clouds to an online education platform called the Ultranet. It provides instructions for creating word clouds using three different free online tools: Wordle, Tagxedo, and ABCYA. For each tool, it outlines how to add text, customize fonts and colors, and save the finished word cloud to your computer. It then explains how to upload saved word cloud images into blogs, wikis or other online publications by navigating to the image files on your computer.
