www.wordle.net is a great site that can be used with notebook. Create a word "cloud" in wordle by typing in your words, pasting in a list from word or typing in a url. Words that are repeated will be larger. Choose randomize to quickly change the look for your wordle. Once your wordle looks the way that you wish, use the screen capture toolbar to capture it and bring it into notebook.
Once it is in notebook you can hide the individual words so they can be revealed using a few different methods. You could choose to hide the individual words by changing your pen to white (or the color of your background) and covering the individual words with ink. They can then be revealed with the eraser.
You could also have each word linked to a page in the file with the definition or any other additional information that you want revealed. To do this, use the screen capture tool to capture each individual word. Be sure to go to "view" on your menu bar, go to zoom and change to 100% so your capture matches the size of the original word. Overlay the captured word and link that object to the page in the file/web site or even sound.
A third way is to create boxes that cover each word filled with the same color as the background. Each box can be animated with object animation in the properties tab to fade out. Thus, when the box is touched, the word is revealed underneath.
