Wordle is pretty fun!
I created on for the Pythagorean Theorem and another for an introduction to Euclidean Geometry. I think this is a great way to get students interested in seeing a "big picture" (main concept" without forcing them to read a boring paragraph.
It also incorporates various parts of their brains (in my opinion). I think it speaks to both their logical and creative sides...which most likely helps them to integrate new ideas.

Digital Storytelling
I've been playing around with Digital Storytelling for some time now. Recently, I made this slide shows set to music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDmWpmaJL6c
I made this on movie maker & it was pretty simple and painless. Similar products can be made using Powerpoint, but they run a little smoother and are easier to build.
Students could use this to make presentations similar to those they've been making in Powerpoint in past years. I think that the simplicity of using Automoto or a comparable website/program will encourage students to use this form of media more often though.
