New 2.0 Web Tools to Try With Students

My turn to learn new skills! I am anxious to try some of these new sites and tools with students in the future. I played around on a site called Visual Poetry and decided to use my philosophy of teaching and learning as my quote to "draw" or "paint with words". I am considering how this tool might support instruction around summarizing as well as allow for creativity.
Paint with words
You can give it a try as well at this site:

I designed this tool to support my gifted education course that I am currently teaching. The steps are specific to this group of students, however it would not take much to adapt it to other classes as well.
