Wordle

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.

 

This looks interesting the I find the whole area of visualisations very interesting with much to discover of their uses as a learning tool.

Really pleased with this wordle of this blog!

 

 

This is the wordle of the Harnessing Technology Report

Post unit roundup

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Results are in from the EELIP unit and the high standard of all was mentioned in dispatches so well done to all.

Having had a few weeks off study I am itching to get back down to it and move forward again. Work is incredibly busy and saps my mental energy with the number of different areas I am trying to resource.

Since I last posted I have been trying to negotiate myself a path through next year. Had some good meetings where I was able to present the case for implementing my report. However the response to this is still unknown and I am prompted to begin to muse on what if…I am not able to pursue the project I outlined in the strategy report? What other question would I address as my research project for next year?

It’s hard to think where to focus my energy in the abstract. I do see a rich supply of questions arising from the blogs I follow in educspaces and elsewhere. Perhaps something will hit a spark.  I am going to start reading back over the past two years entries of this blog as well to try and collate some ideas about questions I have asked.
