When I was a student, I loved writing and reading poetry. I loved and still love how creative and concise it is. In only a few words you can be transported to someplace new, feel the wind in your hair or smell the salt from the ocean. This blog will be used to help share that experience and love with my students.
There are many web 2.0 tools available to use today. Two of the tools that we can use to create art with words are Wordle or Tagxedo. I chose to use Tagxedo because I found it worked without needing to update various applications on my computer. Both are very user friendly and would be easy for students to use. I can see them being applied for a number of applications including: highlighting "juicy" words, spelling words or other vocabulary or theme words. Creating fun labels or name art, creating story covers, or expressing a poem in a unconventional way.
