Tagxedo: Amazing Word Cloud Generator And 101 Ways To Use It… Word Clouds in Education Series: Part 4 | 21 st Century Educational Technology and Learning - 0 views

  •  The creater of  Tagxedo emphasized to me that Tagxedo has a few extra qualities  not found in all Word Cloud Generators. After visiting and experimenting with the site I agree that Tagxedo does offer some awesome features.

      I agree with this. I looked at many cites to create word clouds and found tagxedo to have the most customization options.
  • It is school friendly, due to the fact that it does not require a user log-in.

      This was important to me because I didn't want the girls in my course to feel overwhelmed with having to create too many accounts in the beginning of the course.

      This could be used as an icebreaker activity as well. Maybe combine ideas of all students on what they're nervous about with the course or what they're looking forward to or want to learn.
    • Lisa Martin
       
      These ideas can be used in ANY course, on OR offline. Some great activities in here for icebreakers and a variety of other things!
