Above, is my word "cloud" which is from tagxedo.com. There are a huge number of choices, formats, colors, and it actually took me a bit of time just to figure out how to input a handful of words. However, you can see my final tagxedo result, which I'm rather pleased with. I haven't tried it using Chinese, whether with characters, but Pinyin should work. I'll have to try and see if character inputs work in these online applications. I could assign my students to create a Wordle or Word Cloud (or a different shape) based on vocabulary, sentences, and phrases that they have learned. This is something fun and different you can do with vocabulary words!
I discovered a couple different websites that are really cool! You can input words, stories, phrases in to the online applications, and then it formats the words in artistic ways. My Critical Thinking themed Wordle is at the left (www.wordle.net).
