TagCrowd/Wordle (Week 4 Thing 11)

TagCrowd vs Wordle. I've decided both have merits. It was much easier to get my tagcrowd embedded into my blog but wordle is much "prettier" and visually more appealing. The problem with Wordle is that my computer wasn't capable of pasting my screen print.

As for use in my classroom- It would be great to enter all my students questions about a topic then print it off to see what is most prevalent. Maybe I could have the students submit two or three words that they feel represent the topic we are studying, again to see what comes up. It might be interesting to see what we notice and what we miss and how similar or different we are from each other. We study biographies every year. I think this year, I will have the students create their own wordle or tagcrowd representing the person they are studying.
