Chaoscope

The Chaoscope is a great piece of software from chaoscope.org. Our computer club have been using it to create some fantastic designs. The site has full information of how to use the software and our technician had no trouble installing it for use on the network.

Tag Galaxy

This is Tag Galaxy. http://taggalaxy.de/

My class has been using it as a starter for a poetry lesson. We focused on a poem called Cat in the Window taken from the Poetry Class web site. http://www.poetryclass.net/

Using the tag search we put in 'cat in window' this created a galaxy with different planets.

Selecting the main planet allowed us to see hundreds of pictures of cats in windows and to start a discussion collecting ideas for the poem.

See the class 3C blog for examples of the children's poems.

I always check the outcomes of searches prior to using this with children in the classroom.

Welcome
