Create Visual, Interactive Homeschool Projects Using 4 Online ToolsFor students who are used to surfing the web and using technology for everyday and academic tasks, glue-stick projects may not stimulate their creative learning ability. Several online tools can bring homeschool projects to life by creating visually appealing and interactive word collages, videos, stories, and posters.

Wordle is a tool that can be used to add a splash of color and flair to a presentation or slideshow. It generates “word clouds” from text or web links submitted by users, which can be edited with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. Students can print a Wordle or save it to share with other learners. Wordle can also be used to artistically display favorite scriptures or encouraging quotes around the schoolroom or in your homeschool binder. The Wordle below is created from text on the Alpha Omega Publications About Us webpage.

For academic use, a Glog can be used to showcase a recent field trip or unit study.
