On my google reader I found this blog post about a technology called Tagxedo. Basically it creates takes a letter, speech or just a paragraph of written words and transforms them into a visual picture. For instance, you could take The Gettysburg address and turn it into a picture of Abraham Lincoln. This could be a fun idea to help decorate your classroom--like and English teacher could have a group of action verb create picture of a person moving/running. Or, you could take student writing--such as a poem, or essay or list of words they choose to describe a book and create a picture for them to have in their portfolio. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.
