I have found ways that a Tagxedo can be re-purposed for students in the classroom:
- Students could input their readings into tagxedo as a comprehension tool to see which are the most important words or phrases from an assigned reading.
- Students could input their own writing into tagxedo in order to see if they are using filler words too often. They can also crosscheck that the words that show up larger within their word cloud actually portray the point that they are trying to convey.
- At the beginning of the year, students could create a word cloud to describe themselves to their teacher and their classmates.
- Students could create word clouds that represent their theme for a piece of writing or a project and then use these word clouds as title pages.
