World and Tagxeedo

I absolutely loved these 2 sites!!  They are very similar.  They are great sites to display words in a more visual way.  In a classroom, these would be great for visual learners.  I like how Wordle shows the main idea or most important words of a text by making them the biggest.  I like how with Tagxeedo, you can form your words into amazing shapes and pictures.  I think a cool way to use this in a classroom could be with vocabulary or sight words.  It would be neat to let each student get online, type in the words they need to know, and print their own visual that they created themselves.  Or, when introducing a new lesson in math or science, it might be cool to make one big Worlde or Tagxeedo for the class to look at - using new terms they might not be familiar with.
