Word Clouds: Tagxedo

This is a word cloud I made on Tagxedo.  It is in the shape of a treble clef and filled with musical terms!

Word Clouds

Today we further explored word clouds.  There are so many different websites devoted just to word clouds!  I think my favorite sites are wordle, tagxedo, and imagechef.  Those are just the website I had the most fun on.  On my wiki page, I posted some of the word clouds I made.  Feel free to check them out by clicking on "wiki page"! Word Clouds are a random assortment of words that are arrange attractively on the page.  You can change the layout, color, and font of most word clouds.  Not only can word clouds be used for fun, but they can also be educational!  For instance, in AP Government, we could enter a some of the constitution into a word cloud website and see what words were used the most or what words were the most dominate throughout the document.  We could do the same with Shakespeare in Comp.  Plus, all the bright colors would do wonders to the drab walls of schools.  Here are some of the word cloud websites...

• Wordle
• Tagul
• Tagxedo
• TagCrowd
• ToCloud
• Text Tag Cloud
• ImageChef
• Worditout
• ABCya Word Clouds

Here is a word cloud I made from this post!

Social Media Wordle

Here is my Social Media Wordle.  It was made on wordle.  On Wordle,  you just enter as many words as you want.  The more times you repeat a word, the bigger it will be in the final product.  It is very fun!

Word Clouds: ImageChef

Today we explored ImageChef.  For the record, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE word clouds.  ImageChef was by far one of the most entertaining of all of the word cloud websites I have been to.  There are tons of options that you can do.  You can make a word mosaic, which is like most of the other word cloud websites like wordle or tagxedo (Check my Glee word mosaic out on the side of my page!).  However, you can also do tons of other things, like make banners (like the one at the top of my blog), send e-cards, or other cool activities like that.  I plan to explore ImageChef more on my own at home.  Click the picture to go to ImageChef!
