Tag Crowd

Tagcrowd is a good tool for help students visualise what they have read through out a text. Tagcrowd reinforces the main words through out the text, which can add as a reminder for students. Tagcrowd is also a good resource for students to have when presenting their own work. This tool allows them to create a professional and visually pleasing image that captures the audiences attention and focus. Providing students with tools such as these builds to their 'resources bank' and can be used through out all of their work. Allowing students a wide range resources promotes learning and engagement by fostering a multi model learning environment. This teaching aspect relates heavily to the Learning Design Framework derived by Oliver (1999).
