The Tagxedo was a very fun prgoram to use. My daughter and I did this together. We went on to make some more that she is posting on her Facebook. I can see this being used even in the LC for students to come up with words related to making positive choices.
The Spicynode site was relatively easy to use. Most of the difficulties I had were due to home and laptop computer issues. I used Bathroom Rules as this is always an area that students need reteaching. I did not add multiple rules under each node (topic area) as I plan to have students fill those in, or will use the PBIS matrix wording (which I do not have access to right now) to complete more accurately. I see this being a very easy tool for both teachers and students to use in the classroom.
Kids and adults like Tagxedo - it jazzes up just about anything! :) Your SpicyNodes is a great idea for introducing the behavior matrix, especially since you'll have students fill in part of it with you. I'm glad you'll be able to use these tools in the Learning Center!
