Wordle, Taxgedo and Inspiration

I really enjoyed using these web tools in class last week. I think that Wordle was a good beginning point to word clouds, but Taxgedo would be my choice of site to use in the classroom. I like how you could upload your own images and choose from a great amount of fonts and colors. It would be great to use for history and doing something like the Constitution or The Declaration of Independence. It would be neat for younger children to learn about words that have to do with animals and other topics of the such. Inspiration was a great tool to use especially when children are learning how to make webs and venn diagrams and other types of charts. I would use it to compare and contrast and carry on discussions with the children.
