I was able to make this tagxedo by linking it to my blog. This tool randomly took words from my blog and I was able to manipulate the layout, shape, and color theme to create this apple. I was thinking that this would be such a fun way for students to make an all about me poem/collage since you can also insert text you desire. With the amount of shapes available, this creative writing possibility could be personalized to represent student's personalities. It could also be used as a culminating character study project!
This is really cool. In the past, I've used Wordle with my students at the beginning of the year and the words they use show who they are and what they like. You can't manipulate the words into shapes with wordle though. Is it easy to do with Taxedo?
ReplyDeleteIt is super easy, Elena. The shapes are all included in a drop down menu.
DeleteThis is so much cooler than Wordle! Being able to put the words into shapes will be very exciting for the kids. I could never use Wordle properly at school for we only had a black and white printer and it didn't look as good without color. Using the shapes the color does not matter as much. Good find!!
