Wordle and Tagxedo

I thought that Wordle and Tagxedo would be cool to use in the classroom for posters and parts of class projects. After using both of them, I definitely like Tagxedo better because of the fact that you can change the shape. I think that Wordle would be good for younger children because it's more simple, and Tagxedo could be used for middle or high school students. I don't think that I would be able to grade one of these word clouds, but it could be a fun activity for students and a tool for teachers to help emphasize important words and themes in different topics.
