Geography Teachers' Association of Victoria Inc. (GTAV)'s insight:

This site allows you to 'paint' with words. Simply type in the text (a single word or a longer passage) then choose a text size and colour. Click on the main screen, move your mouse and the words will be 'painted'.

You can save your work too.

This is seriously cool! Developed by Tim Holman, along with a bunch of other really cool things, Texter lets you create images with words. In lots of different colours:) My first thought was to use Texter when I give my learners new vocabulary at the start of a unit. After they have developed understanding of the new vocab I want to challenge them to creat an image using the words to illustrate the meaning of the words. Any thought?

Such a great idea! What a pity it's called a 'Padagogy Wheel' or is that a reference to the inclusion of iPad apps? At first glance looks like a bad spelling error! Well done for combining all these concepts...very useful graphic tool for teachers and learners.

From itunes.apple.com - March 14, 2013 8:47 PM
Geography Teachers' Association of Victoria Inc. (GTAV)'s insight:

This app provides your location as longitude and latitude. This will be helpful when students are collecting data in the field, so that they can map the information when they return to their classsroom. This could be done using a Google Form which has been set up back in the classroom and accessed on the mobile device.
