Step #2
Using a word processing program, write a 7-8 sentence paragraph about some of the possible dangers of "Chatting Online ". When you finish your paragraph, make sure you use the spelling checker. Also, make sure you save a copy of your paragraph, you will need it for the next step.
Step #3
Next, highlight all the text in your paragraph and "copy" (hold down "Ctrl" and "C" at the same time) the text. Then, go to Tagxedo and click on the "Load" button. Now, "paste" (hold down "Ctrl" and "V" at the same time) your paragraph into the blank "Enter Text" field. You can now change the colour, theme, font, orientation, layout and shape.
Step #4
When you are happy with your Tagxedo word cloud, you will need to save your work into a file that you will be able to retrieve. You will need to click on the "save" button, which is below the "Load" button you used in step #3. In the "Save Menu", you will need to choose the size and type of file you wish to save your image as. For best result, use "1MP JPG". When a screen pops up asking if you want to "Share with Friends", you are to choose the "No Thanks! I'm Busy today!" button in the bottom right hand corner.
