How to use Tag Galaxy?
You can type any word into the search bar and shorty after a galaxy will appear with the original word at the centre and the associated ideas orbiting around the word. If you hover around a word, pictures will appear related to the word from the social networking site Flickr. Tag Galaxy is a very fascinating way to view information and is designed with attractive features in mind.
How to integrate Tag Galaxy into the classroom:
Tag Galaxy is a brilliant way to visually explore words and their associations, together with the help of pictures. This tool could be used by students by aiding them with writing work like poems, creative writing and stories! The connection with Flickr helps students to visualize words, ideas, and concepts through guiding them with pictures. Tag Galaxy could be used for classroom activities such as starter games including word association to increase brain activity before the lesson. I believe this will be a beneficial tool within the classroom because from personal experience I learn better through pictures and diagrams because it aids my understanding.
