Enhance
Presentations:
Students can use a Tagxedo to separate sections of long
presentations. For instance, if a
student is giving a presentation on the life of George Washington, she could
use one Tagxedo at the beginning of the section on his childhood, another
Tagxedo when she segues into her section on education, and another for the
section on presidency. The student could
use shapes that would represent the section--an ax, for instance, at the
beginning of the childhood section.
Using words in each Tagxedo from each section of the presentation would
prepare the audience and reinforce vocabulary.
Research:
Students could use Tagxedo to represent research on a
subject. For instance, if a student is
researching a current event, he could copy and paste text from different
sources on the web—news sites, forums, etc.
Then using the options, he could make sure certain words were stressed
and others taken out completely. Using
an online image editor, he could edit an image to upload as a custom shape to
better represent his subject.
Biographies:
Students could use Tagxedo to illustrate biographies. Words that represent the subject could be
entered into the cloud creator and then manipulated in the options so that
certain words were stressed more than others.
Higher-level students could upload an image of the subject to be used as
the shape, so that the words would form a portrait of the subject.
