The "word bubble" art that can be created from Wordle and Taxgedo is AMAZING! I did not know that such websites existed. Not only do I plan on using these in my classroom, but I will use these for personal tasks. I like Wordle because the tool that can be used to create customized word art for any occasion. It can be used in the classroom as an educational tool, at the office to present information in a fun and creative way, or at home just because! Wordle allows for personal editing by providing users with a wide array of colors, fonts, and styles. Print them out to create fun posters or t-shirts, post them to your personal online profiles or blogs, or use it as a fun background.
Taxgedo is very similar to wordle except that website is themed and their customizations are more unique that wordle's. Tagxedo can be used in the classroom as a tool to get children interested in spelling words, poetry, history lessons pertaining to historical figures, and familiarize children with words in a song. They can also be used to teach about things such as animals, plants, nature, historical events, people, and math.
Both of these sites are very fun and can be used in many aspects of the classroom.
The following website is helpful in using creative, fun and educational tools for lesson planning and activities:
