Tag Galaxy - a web 2.0 tool for fun!
Posted by brittgow on July 1, 2008
This striking image was created using “Tag Galaxy“, a fun tool that allows the user to create their own global collage using photos from Flickr using tags. Just type in a starter word - nature in this case- and a spinning sphere appears with other related terms orbiting around it. Narrow your search terms, choosing related words that appeal to you. You click on the sphere when you are happy with the number of images.
I think this would be a good tool for students to use to add images to blog pages, poetry, stories and projects. More creative than cut-and-paste, but effective and simple to use. it could be time consuming though - so save it until after the hard work is done!
