Tagxedos

Do you know what a Tagxedo is? A Tagxedo is a bunch of words, big and small, arranged into a shape.

To start out you have to either make a list of words or write a paragraph. Next you can copy and paste it into the text box on tagxedo.com. Then it will randomize the words. You can, then, change the picture that the words are making. After that you can change the colors of the words. Another option you have is what way the words are going. Some of the options are up and down, random, vertical and horizontal. When it randomizes the words, it will make some of the words bigger and others smaller.

This is what Tagxedos can look like.

For our 3rd quarter reflection, we all made Tagxedos to put on the window next to our classroom door. Everyone in the class typed a paragraph and then made a Tagxedo out of the paragraph. All the Tagxedos were under the sea related, some of which included seahorses and fish. Once we were all finished Mrs. Iwanski printed them and put them on the window with some "seaweed" and "waves". So it looked like it was under the sea. I thought this was a cool way to have a reflection on the 3rd quarter.
