Another site for making content more interesting, put simply you can paste any text you want to and the Wordle site will generate an image with the words arranged as a word cloud. Words that appear more often are shown in a bigger font. See below for an example of a Wordle made from a short passage from a Midsummers night dream:
You have complete control of fonts, colours and layout directions or you can simply click 'randomize' until you find a combination you like.
It's particularly good for collections of definitions. It isn't a 'magic bullet' but it is a useful addition to a collection of approaches for a teacher trying to make content varied and interesting.
