I've been playing with word clouds with
Tagxedo. In a word cloud, you paste paragraphs (or a web page) into a website such as Tagxedo or
Wordle. The site creates a graphic, showing the words used most often as the largest. Tagxedo also lets you pour those words into a shape, as I've done above. I used the words from last August's posts on
Gardening with Binoculars. I uploaded a some clipart from
Free Butterfly Clipart and followed the
instructions on Tagxedo's blog to create this graphic. Move your mouse over the words and they become links. Cool!
Unfortunately this graphic doesn't show up when I use Safari on my laptop, although it does on my desktop machine. Here's a static image of it you're seeing blank space above. For more information about Wordle and Tagxedo, check my other blog, Ed Tech Training Wheels.
