I enjoyed this website.  It took a few minutes to think of a source, but I settled on The University of Princeton's Glossary of Terms.  http://libserv5.princeton.edu/letc/glossary  I choose the site and the image based on my daily life.  I get up, make myself a nice mug of apple spice tea, and immerse myself at work in the library.  I also might have chosen the mug as I had just scalded my tongue on too-hot tea, but I would like to think I was being a little more cerebral about my choices. 

When I selected "Create" on the Tagxedo home page, I found I needed to install the program first.  After a few moments, I was ready to create.  The site was simple enough.  I rather enjoyed playing with colors, text, and shapes.  I was also delighted that I could to remove words in the Word: Layout Options.  Overall, I am quite satisfied with the results.  It was quick and painless.  Best of all, I could feel the creative juices flowing. 

In the future, I plan on using this program with my elementary students.  The students are currently able to write up book talks and reviews for the online catalog.  I envision allowing them to produce word clouds as representations of those reviews with an emphasis on genre and theme.  These word clouds will then be displayed as student artwork in the library.  We will begin research papers in the spring.  I'm thinking the students can create word clouds using their finished papers to liven up the cover page.  I will also share this site with the teachers.  Oh, think of all the possibilities they can come up with.
