Web 2.0 Tools in the classroom

Tagxedo, much like Wordle, is a word cloud generator with many different designs to fit your interests.  You can make word clouds from famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, and even personal letters.  Words are individually sized in the selected shape of the word cloud in order to show which words most frequently occurred within the text. 

• It can be used to generate a creative image that is associated with reading assignments such as poems, speeches, or letters.
• Educators can use this tool to create visual aids for their classrooms.
• It allows students to be creative and make descriptions about themselves and choose a picture that closely relates (good for first day of school so everyone can get acquainted).
